What branch of government appoints justices?

Answer 1

This Power is split between two branches. Neither can act without the other in terms of Supreme Court Justices.

When a Supreme Court Justice either retires;, steps down;, becomes ineligible for public office;, or dies, the President (Executive Branch) has the authority to nominate a potential replacement. However, the President does not have the power to confirm the appointment.

That Power lies with the Legislative Branch, specifically, the Senate.

The President (Executive Branch) appoints Supreme Court justices with the advice and consent of the Senate (Legislative Branch).

A Supreme Court Justice's appointment is a joint venture between two branches. The President, who is head of the Executive branch of the US government, nominates Supreme Court justices, but the Senate, which is part of the Legislative branch must vote whether to approve the appointment.

President = Nominates

Senate = Approves or rejects
