Phydeaux -> RE: SHOULD OBAMA NOMINATE TO FILL THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY? IF SO, WHO? (2/26/2016 9:52:43 AM)

Funny, I would have thought you were aware of it..
quote:
He[The President] shall have the Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Councils, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
FYI the list of all federal offices appointed by the president is listed, ironically enough, in the plum book.
Certainly, I am fully in favor of the president being able to appoint a supreme court justice, whenever the senate is not in session, per the constitution. Aren't you?
