How many total appointments can the President make, and how many of these require Senate approval?

  1. About 500; 100 of those

  2. About 8,000; 1,000 of those

  3. About 6,000; 500 of those

  4. About 10,000; 2,000 of those

The correct answer is: About 8,000; 1,000 of those

The President can make approximately 8,000 appointments, and 1,000 of those require Senate approval. These appointments include high-level positions such as Cabinet members, federal judges, and ambassadors. Option A is incorrect because it underestimates the total number of appointments and the number requiring Senate approval. Option C is incorrect because it also underestimates the total number of appointments and the number requiring Senate approval. Option D is incorrect because it overestimates the total number of appointments and the number requiring Senate approval.
