Confirmation
All federal judges and other high officials in the federal government must be approved by the Senate. After the President nominates an individual for a judicial or high office position, the Senate Judiciary Committee typically conducts hearings and then votes on whether to recommend the nominee to the full Senate. The full Senate then votes to confirm or reject the nominee. This process ensures a system of checks and balances in the appointment of key government officials.
The Senate has the constitutional responsibility of advise and consent for all presidential appointments.

Appointments to the Supreme Court are nominated by the President and approved by the United States Senate. There is a hearing, and one more than half of the Senate must approve in the affirmative for the appointment to be valid.
A recess appointment is a temporary appointment made by the President of the United States while the Senate is in recess, allowing the appointee to serve without Senate confirmation. This type of appointment lasts only until the end of the Senate's next session, whereas a standard presidential appointment requires Senate confirmation and can last much longer, potentially for the appointee's term or even for life in the case of federal judges. Recess appointments are often used to bypass Senate gridlock or delays in the confirmation process.
