Federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, are appointed for life, meaning they hold their office "during good behavior" and can only be removed through impeachment and conviction by Congress.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Constitutional Basis: Article III of the U.S. Constitution states that federal judges "shall hold their Offices during good Behavior".
Appointment Process: Federal judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Impeachment and Removal: The only way a federal judge can be removed from office is through impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate.
Judicial Independence: This lifetime tenure is intended to ensure judicial independence, allowing judges to make decisions free from political pressure or influence.
Exceptions: While federal judges have lifetime appointments, there are some exceptions. For example, magistrate judges and bankruptcy judges serve for fixed terms.
235 Federal District Judges were confirmed by the Democrat Senate in 2024 and are attempting to slow down the Trump Agenda deportation of criminal illegals.
When Trump says “Rogue Judges” should be impeached, he is asking Congress to impeach them.
If the Judicial System believes that Voters should elect Federal Judges, Congress could draft an Amendment to the US Constitution and have it ratified by the States.
Federal Judges should be limited to jurisdiction within their own Federal Districts.
