One significant example is the tension that arises during the appointment of federal judges, particularly Supreme Court justices, which reflects the interplay of powers among branches. To what extent does the Senate's role in confirming appointments provide a check on the President's power, and how does this relationship illustrate broader themes of checks and balances in government?
