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:
“I’ve given parties that have made Indian rajahs green with envy. I’ve had prima donnas break $10,000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. When you were still playing button back in Ohio, I entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that I had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“The democrat is a young conservative; the conservative is an old democrat. The aristocrat is the democrat ripe, and gone to seed,—because both parties stand on the one ground of the supreme value of property, which one endeavors to get, and the other to keep.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Remorse—is Memory—awake—
Her Parties all astir—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
