A question I just asked on another thread and I believe it is a possibility.
I would assume the democrats have been made aware of Ginsburg, imminent retirement or death.. if Congress votes to impeach and actual impeachment hearings are scheduled (and there has been a huge upswing in impeachment talks) CAN DEMOCRATS stop any Supreme Court nominations until after impeachment hearings?

I think this is their plan.

The Senate votes on Justices. Unless House Democrats want to shut.. the Government … down... oops

[Still Thinking]

I think nominations would proceed as normal. Did X42 fill any vacancies while he was being impeached?

Other than the following provision of the 25^th Amendment, a person either is president, or he isn’t.

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Congress - certainly the House of Representatives alone - doesn’t get to suspend the authority of the POTUS. Absent the concurrence of VP Pence and the cabinet.
