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.

Famous quotes containing the word parties:
“Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail.... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“Both parties are injured by what is going on at Washington. Both are, therefore, more and more disposed to look for candidates outside of that atmosphere.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
