Which President most recently tried to change the size of the US Supreme Court?
President Franklin D. Roosevelt drafted the Judiciary Reorganization Bill in 1937 designed to add one new US Supreme Court justice for each sitting justice over the age of 70.5, up to a maximum of six. Roosevelt's intent was to dilute the vote of the older, more conservative justices who opposed his New Deal legislation by packing the Court with younger supporters of his plans.The Senate Judiciary Committee stripped the court-packing provisions from the bill; however, the change turned out to be unnecessary because the Court shifted its support to favor wage regulation in West Coast Hotel v. Parrish, (1937) later that year, an important decision that eased tension between the Executive and Judicial Branches.Roosevelt soon got his wish for a new Court, as eight justices retired or died between 1937 and 1941, allowing the President to shift the tenor of the Court from conservative to progressive.
