Considering that all Supreme Court appointments must be confirmed by Congress, it seems unlikely that an unqualified person would wind up being both appointed and confirmed. However, if that were to happen, this unqualified person would probably issue no formal opinions and let the more qualified justices do all the talking. He could then vote on a purely ideological basis, whether liberal or conservative, whatever his particular political leaning may be.

If the president appoints a Supreme Court judge then congress may?

If the president appoints a Supreme Court judge, Congress may exercise its authority to confirm or deny the appointment. The Senate holds the responsibility to conduct hearings and vote on the nominee, requiring a simple majority for confirmation. Additionally, Congress can also influence judicial appointments through legislation that shapes the judiciary's structure and jurisdiction. However, once confirmed, justices serve for life unless they resign, retire, or are removed through impeachment.
