Midnight Judges (study Island) (your welcome)
The term midnight judges is a derogatory Republican term referring to Federalist judges appointed at the last minute by President Adams. The new judges were known as the Midnight Judges because Adams was said to be signing their appointments at midnight prior to President Thomas Jefferson's inauguration.

The Midnight Judges, appointed by President John Adams in the final hours of his presidency, were important because they helped shape the judiciary branch of the U.S. government. The appointments fueled the debate over the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches and had long-lasting implications for the interpretation of the Constitution. The controversy surrounding the Midnight Judges also led to the landmark Supreme Court case, Marbury v. Madison, which established the principle of judicial review.
Both the president and governor can appoint judges. The governor can appoint his states judges and the president appoints federal judges. The president can only appoint ambassadors.
