Answer
The nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016 was made by President Barack Obama. However, due to political disagreements, the Republican-controlled Senate refused to hold hearings or vote on his confirmation, causing the seat to remain vacant until the following year when President Donald Trump nominated and successfully appointed Neil Gorsuch.
