Question

How is a Supreme Court Judge appointed and confirmed to the bench? How does this process balance power between all three branches?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The Supreme Court judge must be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senators. This allows the executive branch (represented by the president) and the legislative branch (represented by senators) to analyze and inspect the judiciary (represented by the appointed judge.)

Senators must vote for or against the candidate nominated by the president. Before that, they must debate, interview and assess the candidate's qualifications.
