1 answer

The correct answer is: The Constitution requires that the President's nominations to the Supreme Court be approved by the Senate.

This section of the Constitution supports the principle of checks and balances by ensuring that the President's power to appoint Supreme Court justices is not absolute. Instead, the President must consult with and obtain the advice and consent of the Senate before making such appointments. This helps to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful and ensures that multiple branches have a role in the appointment process.
