The House is not needed to appoint justices, but the size of the Supreme Court is set by federal law, and you need the House to change that law to go beyond nine justices.
I'm sorry but I can't find anything on there being law setting the size of the Supreme Court but only precedent.
Would you happen to have the name of this law?
Found it and it looks like FDR had some fights of a very similar nature.
