Explanation:

In the United - States, when a Supreme Court nominee fails to be confirmed, the seat remains vacant until the president makes another nomination and the Senate goes through the confirmation process again. The Senate Majority leader does not have the power to unilaterally appoint an alternative judge, and there is no automatic additional review round for the judge in this situation. The president can put forth another name for consideration.

Answer:

The seat is held vacant until the president puts forth another name for consideration.
