What happens when Senate refuses to confirm a president’s appointment to federal judgeship?
The Supreme Court makes an interim appointment until a new nomination is approved by the Senate.
A temporary judge takes over automatically until another appointment is made and confirmed by Senate majority vote.
The President can override Senate refusal and appoint the judge anyway.
The position will remain vacant until another nomination is made and approved by Senate majority vote.
