Question 45 of 128
Who appoints federal judges?
Official USCIS answers
- The President (of the United States)
Why this is the answer
The Constitution gives the President the power to appoint federal judges. The Senate then votes to confirm or reject the President's choice. So the appointment itself is made by the President.
💡 Memory tip: Remember: the President picks judges, and the Senate approves them.
