The title is “Medal of Honor”. The medal is normally awarded by the President of the United States, but as it is presented “in the name of the United States Congress”, it is often referred to (erroneously) as the “Congressional Medal of Honor”. The President is not the final approving authority, Congress is. It is a Congressional Medal, as Congress represents the people of the United States. The President as “Commander in Chief”, submits the nomination and documentation to Congress. A name may also be submitted by a member of the U.S. Congress, generally at the request of a constituent.

You do know most of the time the “Congressional Medal of Honor” is awarded posthumously.
