C. Appointment and Confirmation

The President will nominate each Justice of the Supreme Court and each Judge of the Circuit, Provincial, District, and Immigration Courts when a term ends or a seat becomes empty. The nominee must come from the list of candidates provided for that level by the Judicial Nomination Board. The President must send the nomination in writing to the Leader of the Senate.

Within thirty (30) days of receiving the nomination, the Senate must hold a single yes-or-no vote on the nominee. A simple majority of Senators present and voting is sufficient to confirm.
