I cannot recall any president in history threatening the Supreme Court...

Franklin Roosevelt did after the SC declared the National Industrial Recovery Act unconstitutional.

Legislation was introduced into Congress to increase the number of Justices by 4 to 6 (thus stacking the Court with "friendlies".)

For various reasons, the legislation didn't go anywhere, but the Court thereafter became much tamer and more New Deal friendly.
