Which standard would a president most likely used to nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court would it be? Does the candidate live close to Washington DC? Does the candidates philosophy agree with the presidents? Is the candidate well known by the general public or is the candidate well liked by the House of Representatives?
The most likely standard a president would use to nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court would be whether the candidate's philosophy agrees with the president's. While other factors such as proximity to Washington DC, public recognition, and approval by the House of Representatives may also be considerations, the alignment of judicial philosophy with that of the president is typically the primary determining factor in a Supreme Court nomination.
