What does the president appoint?
The President of the United States has the power to appoint many different offices. These include federal judges, ambassadors, cabinet officers, and military leaders.
How many federal court judges have been removed by congress?
As of March 2010, the House of Representatives has impeached nineteen federal judges since the Judicial Branch was established in 1789. Seven judges were removed from office as a result of conviction at their Senate trail. The rest were either acquitted, or resigned before the trial.
Why do you select federal judges?
The Constitution of the United States establishes the Judicial Branch of government and provides that while the President nominates people to serve as judges, the Unites States Senate must consider those nominations and give the person its "Advice and Consent." This is called the confirmation process. This method of picking federal judges is part of the original Constitution, probably because the Founders were trying to isolate the Judiciary from as many political pressures as possible with these lifetime appointments where their compensation cannot be reduced during a Judges term of office.
