Where in the US Constitution does it say that Congress can alter the size of the Supreme Court?

This is a two part answer First, nowhere in the Constitution of the United States of America is there a provision specifying the number of justices to sit on the Supreme Court Second, Article II, section 2, paragraph 2 provides as follows: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls Judges of the supreme Court and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. (boldface added for emphasis) Basically, the President may nominate as many judges as he wishes. However, if the Senate does not approve the nomination, then the nominee never ascends to the Supreme Court.In other words, the Senate acts as a gate keeper.

This fact essentially permits the Congress to send a bill to the President setting the number of associate justices on the Supreme Court. If the President were to pass such a bill, it would become law. The current version of such a law, 28 U.S.C. Section 1, fixes the number of associate justices on the Supreme Court to eight.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
