Biden will demand restrictions on the immunity of US presidents, Politico

Biden will speak with a call for the introduction of restrictions on immunity for the presidents of the United States

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, will make a call to introduce a limit on the immunity of the presidents of the United States. About this reported the Politico.

Biden intends to seek an amendment to the constitution that specifies that US presidents are not immune from federal prosecution. This is in response to the Supreme Court's July 1 decision in the Donald Trump case, which held that presidents have some immunity from prosecution for "official acts" while in office.

"The current state of affairs is abnormal and undermines public trust in court decisions, including those that affect personal freedoms. We are at the edge of the abyss," — Biden wrote in an article to be published Monday morning, according to excerpts provided by a White House official.

The publication notes that it is difficult to amend the constitution. It requires the support of two-thirds of both houses of Congress or a convention called by two-thirds of the states, and the approval of three-quarters of the state legislatures.
