A United States Supreme Court Justice has died, leaving one vacancy on the bench. The United States Congress has convened and has selected the Mayor of New York City to be the next Justice. Is this constitutional?

Yes, because Justices may be appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate.
No, because the United States House of Representatives has not agreed.
No, because only the President of the United States has the power to make such an appointment.
Yes, because the Senate has ultimate power.

The President of the United States has written a law prohibiting every United States Citizen from owning a dog. The United States Supreme Court has been asked to decide whether such action is constitutional. How will the Supreme Court rule?

Unconstitutional, because the United States Congress has the power to write law, not the President.
Constitutional, because the President is elected by the public, and therefore, has the power to create whatever laws he or she wants.
None of the above, because the Supreme Court does not have the power to make such a decision.
