It's C
Yes, you are correct. The correct answer is C. By presidential appointment and Senate approval.
Here's the explanation:
To become a member of the Supreme Court of the United States, the process follows these steps:
1. Vacancy on the Court: A vacancy on the Supreme Court occurs when a justice retires, resigns, or passes away.
2. Nomination: The President of the United States has the authority to nominate a candidate to fill the vacant position on the Supreme Court.
3. Senate Judiciary Committee: The nomination is then referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for evaluation. The committee conducts a thorough review of the nominee's qualifications, including their professional background, legal experience, and prior judgments or writings.
4. Senate Confirmation: After the Judiciary Committee completes its evaluation, the committee holds confirmation hearings, during which the nominee is questioned by Senators. Following the hearings, the Judiciary Committee will vote on whether to recommend the nominee for confirmation to the full Senate.
5. Senate Debate and Vote: The full Senate then holds a debate on the nominee's qualifications and suitability for the Supreme Court position. The Senators can discuss and deliberate on the nominee before voting. A simple majority vote is required for confirmation.
If the nominee receives a majority vote, they are confirmed as a member of the Supreme Court. This process ensures that the appointment is subject to checks and balances, as the President nominates while the Senate reviews and approves or rejects the nomination.
