In the US, the US president nominates, for example, executive branch department heads and US Supreme Court justices. When his or her nominations are approved by the Senate, they take their "appointed" positions. For the most part the nominations are approved by the Senate.

Presidential nominations of federal court judges are made with the "advice and consent" of the Senate, just as Supreme Court nominations are. The Senate must confirm the nomination by a simple majority of those voting in order for the judge to be commissioned.
Supreme Justices are nominated by the Senate.Then, the President appoints the justices. Therefore,the executive branch appoints supreme court justices
