Who selects the judicial branch?

Answer 1

Federal judges in the US are appointed by the President, subject to confirmation by the Senate. State procedures vary; in some states judges are appointed by the governor, while in others they're directly elected by the voters.

Answer 2

In the Municipal and Supreme Courts the electoral process is used as each local branch's judicial seat opens, voters in that county or state seat vote the incumbent judge to fill its seat. The only time this varies is for the seats on the Supreme court, those seats are filled by the Executive branch of the government but can be vetoed by either the Senate and Representative houses branch of the government and that veto can be overturned by Judicial branch by overturning the decision with a unanimous vote of the Supreme court. Our founding fathers were visionaries with this checks and balance type of government.

Answer 3

The Judicial Branch, is the branch of the US government that houses the Federal Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. The officials, or rather, Justices, are not elected but are appointed by the President.

Once a President has appointed someone to assume a Federal Court Judgeship, the nominee is looked over by the Senate (who has the power to accept or reject a Presidents nomination(s)) and then they vote. It would take a simple majority (51% approval) for the appointed person to assume the position.

One a member of the Judicial branch is appointed, they are appointed for the remainder of their life or until they decide to resign, retire, or are impeached (removed from their position).
