Question 3 • SA FL-2106010-M/J Civics S1 26-27

How are federal judges selected to serve?

Answer
A
They are elected by popular vote.
B
They are appointed by the governor of their state.
C
They are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
D
They are confirmed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Explanation

Federal judges are nominated by the president and then must be confirmed by the Senate. This process is established by the Constitution; the House of Representatives does not confirm judicial nominees, and federal judges are not elected by voters or appointed by state governors. Therefore, the correct choice is “They are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.”
