The Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States (PCSCOTUS), also known informally as the Supreme Court commission, was a Presidential Commission established by U.S. President Joe Biden to investigate the idea of reforming the Supreme Court. It will provide a nonpartisan analysis of "the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform".[1] The commission was established through Executive Order 14023, issued on April 9, 2021.[2] According to the order, the commission must issue a report within 180 days of its first public meeting,[1] which took place May 19, 2021.[3] The commission issued its final report on December 8, 2021.

The commission was established several months after Amy Coney Barrett was nominated to the Supreme Court by then-president Donald Trump.[4] This nomination was controversial, as it happened less than two months before the 2020 United States presidential election, and Republicans in 2016 had invoked the seldom-used Thurmond rule to block the nomination of Merrick Garland.[citation needed]
