Franklin Roosevelt's 1937 judicial reform bill, often called the "court-packing plan," was designed to expand the Supreme Court. The proposal allowed the president to appoint one new justice for each sitting justice over the age of 70, which would have let him add up to six new justices. This was in response to the Court striking down several of his New Deal programs.
