Court-packing Bill
The Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 (called the Court-packing Bill by its opponents) was a proposal in 1937 by United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt for power to appoint an extra Supreme Court Justice for every sitting Justice over the age of 70. This was proposed in response to the Supreme Court overturning several of his New Deal measures that were designed to help the United States recover from the Great Depression.
