Supreme Court appointments in the United States last for life, or until a justice chooses to retire or resign. Justices can serve for many years, often decades, depending on their age at the time of appointment and personal circumstances. This lifetime tenure is intended to insulate justices from political pressures and allow for independent judicial decision-making. However, they can be removed through impeachment by Congress, though this is extremely rare.
