Who confirms the Governor’s appointments to the Board?

• A. The House of Representatives.
• B. The Supreme Court.
• C. The Senate.
• D. The Governor unilaterally.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is the system of checks and balances in how state boards are filled. In Florida, when the Governor selects someone to serve on a state regulatory board, that choice is subject to the Senate’s confirmation. The Governor nominates, and the Senate reviews the candidate’s qualifications and may hold hearings before voting to confirm or reject the appointment. This provides a legislative check to ensure nominees are suitable and uphold public trust. The House of Representatives does not perform this confirmation role, and the Governor does not have unilateral appointment power for these positions. The Supreme Court isn’t the body that handles these confirmations.
