Can someone please tell FOX that it's the Congressional Medal of Honor, not the President's MoH. Congress awards it, not the President! What are they trying to get us to believe?
They could, but that would be wrong. The official name of the decoration is the Medal of Honor. The private society is called the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, reflecting the tradition that the award was created in the name of Congress. The award is typically presented by the President in person, or if not by him, by the highest ranking available member of the chain of command. It is not presented by the Congress as a body or by any member of Congress.
It is neither the Congressional Medal of Honor, nor is it the President’s Medal of Honor. It is simply the Medal of Honor.
There exists The Congressional Medal of Honor Society, but that refers to the society of MoH awardees not the medal itself. It (the society) was established by congress during the Eisenhower presidency.
