npub1qag4apwpga64u32qkph92cetzfswcwgglcjg2txha3puzmgxwuws5p9gyn (npub1qag…9gyn) The Senate confirms SCOTUS members, not the POTUS. And it only needs a simple majority, as the GOP had for the first two years of Trump's presidency, to do so.
Also, the POTUS is not a king. The office isn't as powerful as you think.
Fun fact: the only recent time Democrats had filibuster-proof control of both the WH and Congress was four months in 2009. Before that, it was 1979.
