The new word for today is vetting
From Wikipedia:Broadly, vetting is a process of examination and evaluation. Specifically, vetting often refers to performing a background check on someone before offering them employment. In addition, in intelligence gathering, assets are vetted to determine their usefulness.
Its meaning comes from looking at a horse before buying it. Having a "vet" look at it.
It is currently used to describe the committee of the presidential candidates looking for a Vice President.. or a VP. So the committee is Vetting for a Veep..
