∙ 13y agoThe President of the United States (Executive branch) nominates federal judges to the Article III (constitutional) and most Article I (legislative) courts.
The Senate must confirm these nominations by a simple majority vote (51) in order for the new judge or justice to be commissioned. From Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution:
"[The President] shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appointambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments."
