Yes. The President is responsible for nominating a potential justice, and the Senate investigates, interviews and votes on the candidate's confirmation. If the Senate approves the nominee by a simple majority of 51 votes, then he or she becomes a Supreme Court Justice.
The House of Representatives is not involved in the selection or confirmation process.
