Federal judges in the United States, including Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges, are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate as specified by the Constitution
. This process involves the President selecting a nominee, often based on recommendations from senators or members of the President's political party, followed by confirmation hearings conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee
. Once confirmed, federal judges hold their positions for life, unless they resign, retire, or are removed under extraordinary circumstances
