This election cycle, various Democratic candidates have put out various plans to change the composition of the Supreme Court which go beyond the traditional method of appointments in response to vacancies. Some have suggested adding additional justices outright, while at least one other candidate (Sanders) has mentioned what he calls rotating judges between the SC and lower courts.
Leaving aside the issue of whether one supports or opposes these plans, I've been wondering how these plans would be implemented. Would they be done via executive action, or would Congress be required to pass legislation in order to achieve these things?
