Article II of the Constitution states that the President has sole authority to nominate most federal judges and justices with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. The Senate signals it's approval or disapproval of a nomination by voting. Only a simply majority (51%) of favorable Senate votes are required to confirm a nomination.
