1. advice and consent

   "Advice and consent" is a constitutional term referring to the power of the United States Senate to review and approve or reject any appointments to public office or treaties made by the President. Under this practice, the President seeks the "advice" of the Senate and needs its "consent" to proceed with the intended action. The term represents a system of checks and balances designed to foster collaboration between the executive and legislative branches of government.

Examples of advice and consent in a Sentence

1. John Cornyn:

   I think it's always better to have the advice and consent of the Senate and have people that have been thoroughly vetted and confirmed.

2. White House officials:

   As Senate Judiciary Committee fulfills Senate Judiciary Committee' advice and consent' responsibility, we will protect the ability of the American people to express their will on the direction of Supreme Court.

3. Lisa Murkowski:

   I find it somewhat troubling that even before the President named Judge Kavanaugh that there were those who were roundly condemning the nominee without knowing who the nominee is, i think that there is a process -- that process needs to be fair, it needs to be open. We all, every member of the United States Senate has an equal obligation to thoroughly vet this nominee. And we will come down on one side or the other but in due deference to the nominee and in due deference to the president's prerogative to name a nominee. We have an obligation to thoroughly work through this advice and consent process.

4. John McCain:

   I believe Gina Haspel is a patriot who loves our country and has devoted her professional life to its service and defense, however, Ms. Haspel's role in overseeing the use of torture by Americans is disturbing. Her refusal to acknowledge torture's immorality is disqualifying. I believe the Senate should exercise its duty of advice and consent and reject this nomination.

5. Ted Cruz:

   Sadly, Senate Democrats have undermined the American people’s confidence in previous judicial confirmation processes with vicious personal smears and unfounded accusations, these kinds of shameless attacks demeaned the Senate and made a mockery of our constitutional role in providing advice and consent to the president on nominations. I believe Judge Jackson should be treated with the dignity and decorum that has been lacking from the consideration of past nominations.
