They have the title of Justice of the Supreme Court, apart from one who is the President of the Supreme Court, and another who is the Deputy President of the Supreme Court.
No. The Supreme Court is not a spy agency, or a law enforcement agency. The Court may hear cases challenging legislation the President has signed into law, or may issue an order (under appellate jurisdiction) that applies directly to the President, as they did in United States v. Nixon, (1974), but they do not scrutinize the President's actions.
The president does not have any power over the decisions of the Supreme Court. Only the Supreme Court itself can overturn a supreme court decision.
Supreme court! President is executive.
The president appoints them when there is a opening.
The Senate must approve the President's appointments, and Congress can override a Presidential veto. Also, the Supreme Court can name a President's actions as unconstitutional.
The US Supreme Court rendered a decision on the case involving President Truman's seizure of US steel mills in 1952 Six justices declared Truman's actions as unconstitutional. Part of Truman's defense on the action was that he needed to insure that a shut down of the steel mills would endanger US troops in the Korean War. While it was clear, Truman was the commander in chief, the US Constitution referred that title as the top commander of the army, navy and airforce. The Court ruled that it did not mean he was commander in chief of the country. This was a set back on US presidential powers.
The power of the President is not only to consult the Supreme Court but also to appoint members of the court.
