When is a Supreme Court justice appointed? A. During the midterm elections
B. Every 4 years
C. During a presidential election year
D. When there is a vacancy on the bench
The correct answer is D. When there is a vacancy on the bench.
Explanation: A Supreme Court justice is appointed when there is a vacancy, which can occur when a sitting justice retires, resigns, or passes away. The President of the United States nominates a candidate, and the Senate must confirm the appointment. There is no specific time tied to elections for these appointments, as they occur based on the need to fill a position on the bench.
