While many nominees have a background in the judiciary, such as serving as a federal judge or a judge at the state level, it is not a requirement. Presidents have also nominated individuals with backgrounds in politics, academia, or private practice for the position. Ultimately, the president has the authority to nominate individuals who they believe are qualified for the role.

Congress has the ability to overrule the President's veto power with a 2/3 majority vote.

Congress checks the Supreme Court in a few ways as well. First of all, it has to confirm the President's appointments of Supreme Court judges. It also has the power, once again, of impeachment, and has the ability to amend the Constitution.
