Parties
- Original Plaintiff/Current Petitioner: The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the U.S. Attorney General. While the INS and Attorney General were nominally the original plaintiff and current petitioner, they argued in favor of Chadha's position challenging the relevant provision's constitutionality.
- Original Defendant/Current Respondent: Jagdish Chadha, a foreign exchange student considered a citizen neither by Kenya nor by India.
- Amici curiae: The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The House of Representatives and Senate were the real parties in interest of the Plaintiff/Petitioner and argued in support of the relevant provision's constitutionality.
