> [@Chefguy](#): > > There’s also nothing that says the SCOTUS can’t have more than nine judges. There isn’t, but it would have to be a change made by Congress. [Both chambers have to agree to change the limit, pass a bill, and then get it signed](https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/packing-the-supreme-court-explained). While Trump could get the Senate to agree, as long as the House is in Democratic hands, it won’t happen. ---
