Congress
the Senate
The branch responsible for approving judicial appointments in the United States is the Senate. The President nominates individuals for federal judgeships, including Supreme Court justices, and the Senate must confirm these nominations through a majority vote. This process is outlined in the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which grants the President the power to appoint judges "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate."
Appointments to the Supreme Court are nominated by the President and approved by the United States Senate. There is a hearing, and one more than half of the Senate must approve in the affirmative for the appointment to be valid.
No, the Supreme Court is separate from all other courts. The president nominates judges to federal courts and Congress approves them.
The President appoints federal judges and the appointments are approved by the Senate in Congress.
