The final step for the confirmation of a federal judge or Supreme Court justice is Senate confirmation. The process starts with the President nominating a candidate for the position, followed by a series of hearings conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee. During these hearings, the nominee is questioned extensively about their qualifications, experience, and views on various legal matters.
After the hearings, the Judiciary Committee votes whether to recommend the nominee to the full Senate. If the committee approves the nominee, the nomination is then sent to the entire Senate for a vote. The Senators debate the nomination, and eventually, a vote is held.
In order to be confirmed, the nominee must receive a simple majority vote in the Senate. If the nominee receives the required majority, they are then officially confirmed to the position. This means that they can begin serving as a federal judge or Supreme Court justice.
