If she retired in 2016, say that summer, then Obama would still be president. He’s president until Jan. 20, 2017. Whether the Senate approves a very liberal justice is another matter. It could be a huge confirmation battle, but he would still be the man to pick Supreme Court justices at that time.

It is a tradition that all federal judicial vacancies in an presidential election are held off until after the election.
This tradition was backed-up by a GOP blue note last year.
