Joe Biden's proposed amendments

Do you think that US president Biden's proposed constitutional amendments make sense and would improve politics & justice in America and elsewhere?

And do you think the majority of the American public is too (fill in your own blank) to allow these proposals to become reality?

Code of conduct for SC justices. Good idea, but how is this enforced?
Term limits for Justices - I see big issues here, mainly in that it would increase the power of the presidency. If you know that 3 justices are terming out within the next 4 years, that places greater emphasis on the presidential election.
Presidential immunity - only if this is explicitly defined as to what crimes they are not immune from and which they are. Otherwise I see this being abused. And I think this should only apply to crimes committed while in office.

@trollslayer I think you make a good suggestion about limiting the consequences of lesser crimes by a president.
