Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Senate plays a role in the appointment of federal judges, including those to the Supreme Court, through its powers of confirmation. This gives the Senate a check on the power of the judiciary and ensures that Supreme Court nominees are qualified and acceptable to a majority of senators. The other choices are incorrect. The judiciary is an independent branch of government and operates outside of political control; the Supreme Court exercises judicial review over congressional and presidential actions, not the other way around; and the president does not have veto power over the Supreme Court's decisions.
