When is the only time a new justice may be appointed?

History

5 0

The appointment and confirmation of Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States involves several steps set forth by the United States Constitution, which have been further refined and developed by decades of tradition. Candidates are nominated by the President of the United States and must face a series of hearings in which both the nominee and other witnesses make statements and answer questions before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which can vote to send the nomination to the full United States Senate.[1] Confirmation by the Senate allows the President to formally appoint the candidate to the court.[1] The Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice, thus the President may nominate any individual to serve on the Court.

Senate cloture rules historically required a two-thirds affirmative vote to advance nominations to a vote; this was changed to a three-fifths supermajority in 1975. In November 2013, the then-Democratic Senate majority eliminated the filibuster for executive branch nominees and judicial nominees except for Supreme Court nominees by invoking the so-called nuclear option. In April 2017, the Republican Senate majority applied the nuclear option to Supreme Court nominations as well,[2] enabling the nominations of Trump nominees Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh to proceed to a vote.....

Hope this helps ;)

The second Bank of the United States Group of answer choices was considered a great friend to state banks. bowed to political pr
finlep [7]

Answer:

was thought by Andrew Jackson to represent the advancement of the few at the expense of the many.

Explanation:

The Second Bank of the United States established and chartered by the US Congress in 1816 after the charter of the First Bank of the United States had expired. It was located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and saddled with the same responsibility and federally authorized as the First Bank of the United States of America.

On the 10th of September, 1833, President Andrew Jackson announced officially that the federal government would no longer use or require the services of the Second Bank of the United States of America and as such failed to secure a recharter. President Andrew Jackson thought in his wisdom that the Second Bank of the United States represents an advancement of a small percentage of the population at the expense of a larger percentage.

Consequently, this failure made the bank to become a private corporation and was liquidated in 1836 and 1841 respectively.

How were the philosophies of individualism and secularism similar during the European Renaissance?
allochka39001 [22]
The philosophies of individualism and secularism were similar during the European Renaissance because d) each philosophy deemphasized the importance of religion. This was because individualism emphasized that the individual could make their own choices (without influence from the government or the church) and secularism emphasized living a life without the church (or the influence of the church).
