Ep. 263 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Jon Schaff | From Nomination to Confirmation: The Advice and Consent Process


Season 1 Episode 263


Article II, Section II of the United States Constitution grants numerous powers to the presidency. However, Clause II dictates the President must have the advice and consent of the United States Senate in order to exercise these powers.  What does this mean and what is the nomination and confirmation process between these two branches of government?  When specifically must the President consult with the Senate on nominations?  For whom in the executive branch does this apply and for whom does it not?  To shed light on this very important power, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Jon Schaff, Professor of Government/Director of the Center for Public History and Civic Engagement at Northern University in South Dakota.
