"Consent of senate’ means that there is a vote pre se.

Presidents are entitled to a nomination, not a senate approval.
They are not entitled to approval. They should at least be given the courtesy of a hearing/vote.

no. it shows why they are absolutely needed. without parties the executive would be even more powerful as there would be no organized (loyal or otherwise) opposition.
