President Joe Biden has vetoed a once-bipartisan effort to add 66 new federal district judgeships. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Monday vetoed a once-bipartisan effort to add 66 federal district judgeships, saying “hurried action” by the House left important questions unanswered about the life-tenured positions.

President Joe Biden has vetoed bipartisan legislation that would have added dozens of new federal judge positions in the coming years. The president had threatened to veto the bill because he didn’t want to give the president-elect new appointment opportunities,

Biden previously threatened to reject the measure in order to prevent Donald Trump from having the opportunity to appoint 22 extra judges in his next term.

Trump often called for expanding the federal death penalty — including for those who kill police officers, those convicted of drug and human trafficking, and migrants who kill U.S. citizens.

With just weeks left in office, US President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 federal death row inmates - potentially thwarting President-elect Donald Trump's plans to expand federal executions during his upcoming administration.
