The correct answer is D. The Constitution requires that the President's nominations to the Supreme Court be approved by the Senate.
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution illustrates the principle of checks and balances by stipulating that the President must seek the "Advice and Consent" of the Senate in order to appoint significant positions, such as Supreme Court judges and ambassadors. This requirement ensures that the Senate has a role in overseeing and approving the President's appointments, thereby preventing any one branch of government from wielding excessive power without the input of another branch.
