As of October 2023, the number of Congressional Medals of Honor presented by each president varies significantly. President Abraham Lincoln awarded the most, presenting 1,520 during the Civil War. In contrast, many modern presidents have presented fewer, with some, like George W. Bush, awarding around 12 during their terms. The exact number can fluctuate as new recipients are honored, but historically, earlier presidents tended to award significantly more medals.

What is the difference between the Medal of Honor and the congressional Medal of Honor?
Medal of Honor is the correct nomenclature, each major branch of the military has their Medal of Honor. Award of the Medal of Honor is approved by congress and presented to the recipient by the president. Possibly because of congress authorization, the Medal of Honor gets tagged mistakenly as the Congressional Medal of Honor. Again, there is no Congressional Medal of Honor, if anyone can show me what one looks like I would appreciate it. I can easily show what each branch of military service has as their separate Medals of Honor. There IS a Congressional GOLD medal that is awarded by Congress via the President to civilians for non-military service to the US. This in NOT a military award. George M Cohen was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal for writing songs for the war effort - WW1. But this was not for any military service.
