President nominates federal judges. The VP nominates chief justices. Selection filters are needed for both!

 

The President should still continue to nominate United States District Court Judges (federal trial court judges) and United States Circuit Court judges (federal intermediary appellate judges). However, only the Vice-President should be allowed to nominate chief justices.

However, the President should be provided selection filters by the US Senate before he/she nominates these judges. The Vice-President should be provided selection filters by the US House of Representatives before he/she nominates these chief justices.
