Congress is responsible for establishing lower courts as they are needed. This is a power designed to this the legislative branch of government in the U.S. Constitution.
The authority to set up a system of federal courts was granted to Congress by the U.S. Constitution. Article III of the Constitution establishes the judicial branch and allows Congress to create inferior courts under the Supreme Court. This provision enables Congress to determine the structure and jurisdiction of the federal court system.
The U.S. Constitution establishes two primary types of courts: the Supreme Court and inferior courts. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, while Congress has the authority to create lower federal courts, known as inferior courts, to address various legal matters. These courts are part of the federal judiciary system, which interprets and applies federal law.
The only court specifically provided for in the US Constitution is the Supreme Court. Article 3 establishes the Supreme Court ". . .and such inferioe courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

It is true that the United States Constitution only explicitly and specifically establishes the Supreme Court of the United States. However, it also specifies that the Congress should create lower federal courts, which Congress did with the Judiciary Act of 1789, and as amended. There are also "Article I courts", created by the Congress, that are technically part of the federal executive branch and not part of the federal judicial branch.
Article Three of the United States Constitution establishes the judicial branch of the federal government. The judicial branch comprises the Supreme Court of the United States and lower courts as created by Congress.
