President Franklin Roosevelt's proposal to expand the Supreme Court was eventually defeated in Congress.

Explanation:

A bill was proposed by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1937 after he won the presidential election. The bill was called the Court-packing plan and it was to expand the Supreme Court's membership by increasing the number of justices.

His proposal was followed by a lot of criticism and was later turned down by Congress. The proposal of the bill caused the President to lose political backing.
