You’re a bit confused. Read #Art2Sec2Clause2
It was always 51+ to confirm SCOTUS.
For some time #Filibuster & #Cloture vote required 60 votes. Reid or McConnell ended that, can’t remember which one, sorry.
Huh, and here I thought #Art2Sec2Clause2 said, about ONLY #POTUS
“He shall have Power… and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint… all other Officers of the United States…”
Why yes, it DOES.
