Reading this article, there is a line,
President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Friday empaneling a commission to examine possible reforms to the Supreme Court and federal judiciary, making good on a campaign trail promise sparked by his predecessor's tilting of the federal bench
Question 1
What does "make good" mean from the following definitions?
-
If you make good some damage, a loss, or a debt, you try to repair the damage, replace what has been lost, or repay the debt.
-
If someone makes good a threat or promise or makes good on it, they do what they have threatened or promised to do.
-
If someone makes good, they become successful, famous, or rich.
I guess without any support here make good would mean by 2?
Question 2
What does federal bench mean here?
Would that mean possibly the line of judges changed by the former president Trump here?
