On the process of Supreme Court nominations, the Constitution says that the president “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint … Judges of the supreme Court.” In short, the president must nominate a choice, and the nominee must then be confirmed by the Senate.
Since the late 1960s, the general steps of the Judiciary Committee during Supreme Court nominations usually include an investigative stage before the hearing, public hearings, and a committee decision.
Once Trump nominates an individual for consideration, that person goes through an FBI background check, and the Senate Judiciary Committee will also complete its own investigation of the nominee. Committee chair Sen. Lindsey Graham will set the hearing timeline, and once the committee holds its hearings on the nominee, it will then vote favorably, negatively, or no recommendation and send it to the full Senate. A simple majority vote in the Senate is needed to confirm the nominee.
