Who has the power to nominate judges to the United States Supreme Court?

  1. President.

  2. Supreme Court.

  3. Congress.

  4. State governors.

The correct answer is: President.

The President has the power to nominate judges to the United States Supreme Court, as outlined in the Constitution. The Supreme Court, Congress, and state governors do not have this authority. The Supreme Court consists of the nine judicial members and does not have the power to nominate new judges. Congress holds the power to approve or reject a President's nomination, but they do not have the power to make nominations. State governors do not have the authority to nominate judges to the Supreme Court, as it is a federal level position.
