Answer 2

Congress can reject judicial appointments.

Congress can change the term length of appointments.

• President sends the nominations for judicial appointments. After these nominations, it is upon the senate to approve the nomination.
• Graber believes that a constitutional amendment, which requires two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states, is the most likely route for Congress to enact term limits.
• The legislative branch has the authority to ratify presidential appointments, manage the budget, and impeach the president and force their resignation.
• Only the House of Representatives and the Senate may impeach federal judges and convict them.
• Although the legislative branch's Senate confirms the President's nominations for judicial positions and Congress has the power to impeach any of those judges, the judicial branch interprets laws.

Hence, the two ways in which legislative checks the executive branch in the selection of judicial appointees is by having the power to reject judicial appointments and having the power to change the term length of appointments.
