One check that the legislative branch has over the judicial branch is approving judicial nominees. The Constitution grants the power of appointing federal judges to the President, but the Senate must provide advice and consent on the President's nominations. This means that the Senate has the authority to approve or reject the President's nominees for federal judicial positions, including Supreme Court justices. This check allows the legislative branch to ensure that the individuals appointed to the judiciary align with their interpretation of the law and their policy preferences, potentially shaping the composition and orientation of the judiciary.
