the judicial branch is the branch in which the Supreme Court derives its authority. However, the executive branch reserves the right to appoint judges, and the legislative branch has the right to approve or disapprove of the president's choices.

Does Obama have any control over when supreme court hears case on Obama-care?

The Supreme Court heard and decided on the Affordable Care Act in July 2012, but presidents have no control over when or if the Court will hear a case. That is totally the Court's decision, as part of our government's separation of powers. As it turns out, the Court decided to hear a challenge to the act, but it wasn't till the end of this current session that they finally ruled on it, deciding it was in fact constitutional.

What control does the executive branch have over the selection of judges?

The Supreme Court rules on the Constitutionality of state and federal laws. It validates and invalidates rules, laws, procedures and policies. However, it has no enforcement powers. The Executive Branch is the enforcer, and can choose whether or not to use its power in accordance with the Court's rulings. For a perfect example of this, look at the political background surrounding Marbury v. Madison (1803). By all rights, Marbury should have won. President Jefferson and his secretary of state, James Madison, said preemptively that they didn't care what the Supreme Court said. The Court was a bunch of nobodies, with no power whatsoever, and they would not issue Marbury's commission under any circumstances. If the Court had ruled for Marbury, and ordered Madison to issue the commission, the Court would have been the laughing stock of the country, because the Executive Branch was poised to ignore the Court's ruling. The Executive Branch has to put the Court's rulings into effect or they have no meaning. From: Kira D. Woof
