the senate confirms the nomination made by the president
vote for approval
The President submits his choice to be a Supreme Court Justice for approval to the Congress. If the Congress does not vote for approval, (and there have been times when they voted against the President's choices), the person does not become a Supreme Court Justice and the President has to select someone else and have that person voted for by the Congress.
If the president appoints a Supreme Court judge, Congress may exercise its authority to confirm or deny the appointment. The Senate holds the responsibility to conduct hearings and vote on the nominee, requiring a simple majority for confirmation. Additionally, Congress can also influence judicial appointments through legislation that shapes the judiciary's structure and jurisdiction. However, once confirmed, justices serve for life unless they resign, retire, or are removed through impeachment.
No. They are appointed by the President, but must be approved by a simple majority vote of the Senate.
Congress has the ability to overrule the President's veto power with a 2/3 majority vote. Furthermore, Congress has the power to impeach the President, and must confirm the President's choices (i.e. appointment of the Supreme Court, etc.). Congress checks the Supreme Court in a few ways as well. First of all, it has to confirm the President's appointments of Supreme Court judges. It also has the power, once again, of impeachment, and has the ability to amend the Constitution.
Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed with the "advice and consent" (majority vote) of the Senate. (please when you read it it's just a yes or no answer)
The president submits a name and the Congress questions the person. They vote to install him/her as a justice.
A person approved for an office by a vote is said to be "elected". A bill approved by Congress in a vote is said to "passed". Persons appointed to a position by the President, such as a Supreme Court justice, and approved by a Senate vote are said to "confirmed".
No, the Supreme Court is not elected by the people. Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President, and then the Senate votes to confirm them.
The president vetoes a law passed by Congress, but Congress overrides the veto with a two-thirds majority vote. (APEX)
