Can the President appoint a new Supreme Court Justice before the end of his term?

[bohemoth]

Yes and most DEFINITELY yes he The President can appoint a SUPREME COURT NOMINEE and the Senate can Confirm that nominee.
It's not UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

[chief]

OMG YES. Appoint one now!!! He can and SHOULD. Make sure the appointee is someone who believes in the US of A, the constitution and is for the people.

[andyvankerkhove]

The quickest and most certain way to get Trump to appoint a replacement, is to threaten him and tell him that he can't or he shouldn't.

Can a president sign a bill into law on the first day or his presidency? How about his last day? Is it a 3 year term or a 4. Sounds like he is within his rights.

[bellef]

Of course, it is his constitutional right.

[blumie]

How is this even a question of course he can

[ernestbywater]

Mind you, considering how the Democrats went about delaying previous Trump appointees you can be sure that anyone Trump appoints, at any time, is going to take a hell of a long time going through the House.

Ginsburg was a monster. Trump must bring in a replacement ASAP. Roberts is a RINO so we need a real conservative to protect the 2nd Amendment.

[TheFleahead]

Hillary phoned Trump and asked him if she can replace Ruth Ginsburg Trump said its ok with him if its ok with the funeral home

[IamaMovinright]

The bottom line - 2016 Democrat President & a Republican Controlled Senate. 2020 Republican President & a Republican Controlled Senate.

[bza]

Ginsburg a hero ??? WTF. she was evil

[deweycotnran]

So this was totally useless just say yes and stop wasting our time

[stangman]

It is both constitutional and his responsibility to finish this! It's also a campaign promise! The Dems and media don't want it to happen!

[Bustahbrown]

Of course he can appoint a SCJ right now. The when the dems squeal, threaten, throw a pathetic "terrible twos" tantrum we know he's doing the right thing by the constitution and the American people.

[tinabranch]

They have to make drama on every thing

[veowsaku]

Get it done because it will cost taxpayers more money if the issue is not resolved ASAP.
