Au. s. supreme court justice chooses to retire and move to florida. what will happen to the justice's old position?

a) the president will nominate someone to fill the position, and the senate will approve the choice.

b) the position will remain empty because there is no set number of justices for the supreme court.

c) the congress will vote to select one person to fill the empty position.

d) the supreme court will meet and read the constitution to determine what action to take.

The first alternative is correct (A).

The choice of Supreme Court is a prerogative of the US president, which must be endorsed by the Senate. Whenever a vacancy occurs, regardless of the reason, this is the procedure to be adopted, since it is the form determined by the US Constitution.

It should be noted that even though it is an indication of the president, the chosen judge must be technical and honorable and must act with complete independence.

the united states has a federal government. the president is the head of the federal government of the united states. however, each state forms its government for administration purposes. the powers of the state governments are exercised within restricted state boundaries. and citizens participate in this government by voting.
