Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States serve lifetime appointments, meaning they can remain on the bench until they choose to retire, resign, or are removed through impeachment. This system is intended to ensure judicial independence, allowing justices to make decisions free from political pressures. However, they must maintain "good behavior" to retain their position. The Constitution does not specify a fixed term length, reinforcing the lifetime nature of their service.
