During President Jimmy Carter's term in office, no vacancy occurred on the Supreme Court of the United States. He thus became the first president since Andrew Johnson and the fourth president overall (after William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor and Johnson) to complete his term without making any appointments to the Supreme Court. Because these other presidents either died in office or assumed the presidency because of an intra-term vacancy, Carter is the only US president as of 2022 to serve a full term without getting to appoint a Justice.
