Biden Proposes Constitutional Amendments, Tax Hikes

In his final days in office, President Joe Biden reflected on his presidency in a farewell address, expressing concerns about the growing concentration of power and wealth in America, warning of an emerging oligarchy, and emphasizing the need for constitutional amendments to hold presidents accountable for crimes. He lamented his low approval ratings, attributing them to a focus on policy over politics and regretting not including his name on stimulus checks, which may have undermined public perception of his administration's efforts. Biden's administration has been marked by significant achievements, including job creation and international diplomacy, as highlighted by Congressman Steny Hoyer, who praised Biden's leadership during crises. In an interview, Biden acknowledged the challenges of conveying his administration's successes, especially in the face of misinformation. As he prepares to hand over the presidency to Donald Trump, Biden's remarks reflect both a sense of urgency about future threats and a hope that his legacy will be appreciated over time. The outgoing president’s warnings resonate with historical echoes of previous leaders addressing the nation at pivotal moments.
