Explanation:

For the first question, when the president's party controls both the Senate (where confirmation occurs) and the House, it is easier to get a Supreme - Court nominee confirmed. In the third option, a Democratic president has a Democratic - controlled Senate and House, which provides a unified party support for confirmation. For the second question, if a Supreme Court nominee fails to be confirmed, the president can put forth another name for consideration.

Answer:

1. Democratic President + Democratic - controlled Senate (3 - seat majority)+ Democratic - controlled House (19 - seat majority)
2. The president puts forth another name for consideration.
