Senate Confirmation
Senate confirmation is a process in the United States where the Senate reviews and approves presidential appointments. This includes positions such as Supreme Court justices, cabinet members, and ambassadors. The process ensures that these important roles are filled by qualified individuals, as the Senate has the authority to reject or approve the president's nominees.
During the confirmation process, nominees typically undergo hearings where they answer questions from Senate committees. These hearings allow Senators to assess the nominee's qualifications, views, and potential impact on their respective roles. Following the hearings, the full Senate votes to confirm or deny the appointment.
