That is correct. The United States Senate has the authority to confirm federal officials who are nominated by the President. The Senate must hold confirmation hearings and then vote on whether to confirm the nominee for various positions, including cabinet secretaries, federal judges, ambassadors, and other high-level officials. This process ensures that the President's selections for these positions are thoroughly vetted and approved by the Senate before they can assume their roles.
