This Power is split between two branches. Neither can act without the other in terms of Supreme Court Justices.
When a Supreme Court Justice either retires;, steps down;, becomes ineligible for public office;, or dies, the President (Executive Branch) has the authority to nominate a potential replacement. However, the President does not have the power to confirm the appointment.
That Power lies with the Legislative Branch, specifically, the Senate.
The President (Executive Branch) appoints Supreme Court justices with the advice and consent of the Senate (Legislative Branch).
A Supreme Court Justice's appointment is a joint venture between two branches. The President, who is head of the Executive branch of the US government, nominates Supreme Court justices, but the Senate, which is part of the Legislative branch must vote whether to approve the appointment.
President = Nominates
Senate = Approves or rejects
The Executive Branch appoints the Justices but the Legislative Branch approves the appointments.
The executive branch appoints judges. The Senate must approve of their appointment as a means of separating power. This is so the executive does not choose people with radical views.
Justices are appointed by the executive (often subject to legislative consent).
The US Senate (Legislative Branch) has the power to approve or disapprove Supreme Court appointments.

Executive
No one directly appoints Supreme Court Justices. The president nominates candidates, and the senate accepts or rejects the nominees. So the president indirectly appoints justices, pending senate approval.
No. The Executive Branch appoints US Supreme Court justices with the approval of the Senate.
The Executive Branch (or, in particular, the president) appoints the Supreme Court Justices to their position. For the Legislative Branch: If the Supreme Court were to rule some act as "unconstitutional", the Legislature has the ability to create an amendment to the constitution.
