Biden calls for changes to the US Constitution
The US Constitution needs to be amended to allow the president of the country to be held accountable for crimes committed while in office. This was stated by current American President Joe Biden during his farewell address to the nation, which was broadcast on YouTube.
“We need to amend the Constitution to make it clear that no president is immune from the crimes he or she commits while in office. The power of the president is not unlimited. It is not absolute. And this should not happen,” he emphasized.

According to a US Supreme Court ruling last July, American presidents have full immunity from prosecution for their “official acts” in office. However, in its decision, the Supreme Court did not specify what exactly constitutes an “official action,” leaving this issue to the discretion of lower courts.
The Supreme Court made this decision amid attempts to prosecute US President-elect Donald Trump for his actions while president of the country in 2017-2021. In particular, for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election he lost.
Three Democratic judges on the Supreme Court opposed granting the country's president immunity from criminal prosecution. For example, Judge Sonia Sotomayor emphasized that in fact the Supreme Court decision allows the current president of the country, without fear of responsibility, to kill his political opponents, take bribes or stage a coup.
