The Supreme Court has no impact aside from the individual justices' votes on the Presidential election. However, once a president is chosen, he/she has the power to appoint a justice to the bench if there is a vacancy. These appointments must be approved by the House and Congress, and once approved, they are for life. The President most likely picks someone they felt would best represent their views of issues such as abortion, civil rights, etc. In consequence, even though a president's term can last a maximum of 8 years, their influence through choosing a justice can continue long past the time their term is up.
