Which entity approves Medal of Honor nominations?

Explanation:
The final approval for a Medal of Honor comes from the President. The nomination works its way up through the service chain of command, then to the service secretary and ultimately the Secretary of Defense (for all services), who forward it to the President. The President personally approves the award, and it is presented in the President’s name, traditionally with the ceremony recognizing the individual’s actions. The Congress is not the approving body, and the other entities listed do not authorize the award.
