Answer:

President and confirmed by the Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate, as stated in the Constitution.

The number of federal judicial positions is set by the States Congress, which authorizes a set number of judge positions for each level of the courts and makes adjustments as necessary
