Who appoints federal judges?

What does this answer mean?

The President of the United States appoints federal judges. Under Article II of the Constitution, the president nominates judges, including Supreme Court justices, and they take office only with the advice and consent of the Senate, which means the Senate must approve them.

This process involves two branches. The president chooses, and the Senate holds a vote to confirm or reject the nominee. That's another example of checks and balances: neither branch alone controls who serves on the federal courts.

Article III says federal judges hold their offices during good behavior, which in practice means they can serve for life unless they retire or are removed through impeachment. A lifetime appointment is meant to keep judges independent from politics, an idea that's also a question on the test.

Appointing federal judges is one of the accepted answers to "Name one power of the president."

At the interview, say "the President."
