The President doesn't need anyone's approval to select, or nominate, a Federal judge, but the judge can only be appointed with the "advice and consent" of the Senate, which is only one chamber of Congress. Appointment requires a simple majority (51%) of the Senators voting. The House of Representatives, which is the other chamber of Congress, plays no role in this process.
