The Senate Judiciary Committee
The Senate Judiciary Committee plays a crucial role in the nomination process for Supreme Court justices. It holds confirmation hearings for nominees, where they are questioned about their qualifications and views. The committee's recommendation, through a vote, can influence whether a nominee is confirmed. Additionally, the committee can affect the court through its oversight responsibilities, such as holding hearings on judicial actions or policy matters related to the court.
The Constitution sets no specific requirements for nominating judges and justices to the Judicial Branch, or constitutional courts established under Article III. However, members of Congress, who often recommend potential nominees, and the Department of Justice, which reviews nominees' qualifications, have developed their own informal criteria.
They hold the hearings to determine the nominees of the Supreme Court. There have been six nominees that the senate has rejected over the past sixty years through this process.
The American Bar Association issues an opinion about the professional competence and qualifications of US Supreme Court nominees and potential nominees.
No, the official qualifications are the same, since the Vice President may become President. However, parties may not demand so much from their vice-presidential nominees as they do from their presidential candidate and voters might expect less.
The ombudsman and his deputies shall be appointed by the president from a list of at least six nominees prepared by the Judiciary and Bar Council, and from a list of three nominees for every vacancy thereafter. Such appointments shall require no confirmation. All vacancies shall be filled within three months after they occur.
No. The Constitution doesn't list any requirements for Supreme Court nominees; the appropriate qualifications are left to the President and Congress to determine, and have evolved over the years. There is no "natural born" citizen or minimum age mandate, either.

A combination of the two. Article II of the Constitution specifies the President appoints federal judges and justices with the "advice and consent" of the Senate, which must approve the nomination by a simple majority of 51% of the Senators voting to confirm the appointment. The Constitution is silent on other aspects of the process, such as how nominees are identified and screened, and what qualifications are required for consideration. It also makes no provision for the Senate Judiciary Committee or its confirmation hearings.

Yes, they can. There are no restrictions as to who can be a nominee for a bank account. Any valid customer for a bank or their relatives/family members can be a nominee. In case of company's or institutions, they themselves are the nominees for their deposits.
