I don’t see a “Senate order” in their, Trollglow.Habba got a 120-day temporary position; her time has run out, and the Senate or the judges get to pick who will fill the seat.
Federal judges are approved by the Senate, following nomination by the President. The Constitution outlines this process through the Appointments Clause, stating the President "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint" all federal judges.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Nomination: The President selects a nominee for a federal judgeship.
- Senate Judiciary Committee Review: The Senate Judiciary Committee reviews the nominee, holding hearings and questioning them.
- Committee Vote: The committee votes on whether to recommend the nominee to the full Senate.
- Senate Vote: The full Senate votes on whether to confirm the nominee.
- Confirmation: If a majority of the Senate votes to confirm, the nominee is appointed.
