Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday that there is “zero chance” President Joe Biden can impose term limits on Supreme Court justices.

Biden is focusing on implementing Supreme Court reform, including term limits and an ethics code, as his presidency comes to a close, according to a White House fact sheet published on Monday. Jarrett said on “Fox & Friends” that Biden’s proposed reforms are “unconstitutional” and the president is only pushing them for reforms for electoral reasons.

“Like many of Joe Biden’s ideas, most of it is unconstitutional, Steve. And the Democrats cannot simply pass a law imposing term limits on justices because life terms are embedded in the Constitution,” Jarrett told host Steve Doocy. “So, it requires amending the founding document, which is such a high bar, that it has zero chance.”

Biden wants Supreme Court justices to have eighteen-year terms instead of lifetime appointments to make it so one presidency cannot have disproportionate influence, according to the fact sheet.

“Joe’s other idea of imposing ethical controls on justices, as you point out, Steve, that is a blatant violation of the separation of powers principle,” the legal analyst added. “So all of this is just electoral pablum for Democrats.”

The president is calling on Congress to pass ethics rules that mandate justices “disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest,” according to the fact sheet.

Biden has also pushed plans to forgive student loan debt during his presidency despite the Supreme Court striking downone of his proposed programs in June 2023.

“I find it interesting that Joe Biden has spent decades opposing the very kind of radical reforms that he now advocates. And it’s also pretty amusing, Steve, an 81-year-old president wants to age out younger high court justices that are a lot more sentient than Joe Biden is. Biden knows he can’t do this,” Jarrett said. “But, like many of the things he proposes, he does it anyway to troll for votes.”

“Remember, most of this has to be done by constitutional amendment. To even propose an amendment, you have to have two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or states in constitutional conventions and once you get past that hurdle, you got to have ratification by three quarters of the states,” he said. “That is impossible. Sorry.”
