The United States Senate is responsible for approving presidential appointments. This includes cabinet appointments, ambassadors, judges, and several other levels.
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.
Federal Judges have lifetime appointments and can only be removed by Congress.
In the United States the Congress, or legislative branch confirms federal judicial appointments. It is the Senate as upper house of the Congress that has the Constitutional power to confirm federal judges, and Supreme Court nominees.

In a presidential form of government, the legislative branch typically approves the appointments of members of the judicial branch. For example, in the United States, the President nominates judges, including Supreme Court justices, but these nominations must be confirmed by the Senate. This system of checks and balances ensures that no single branch has unchecked power over judicial appointments.
No, while federal judges hold their appointments during "good behavior", state judges do not necessarily have that luxury. Some state judges are elected.
Most presidential appointments, including federal judges, cabinet members and ambassadors, require a simple majority vote of the Senate. Mid-term appointments of vice presidents require a simple majority vote of both Houses of Congress, and treaties require a two-thirds majority vote of the Senate.
