Best Answer

impeachment of judges can only be done on grounds of 'proven misbehavior' and 'incapacity'. if a judge of SC is to be impeached, recommendation must be made by the chief justice of India to the President. if it is accepted then a proposal for impeachment must be introduced by atleast 100 MPs in Lok sabha or 50 MPs in Rajya sabha. the concerned judge is to be given a copy of the proposal before the discussion takes place in the Parliament. the motion should be passed by a majority of two-thirds of the members present and voting ,seperately in each house. if the motion is passed, the formal announcement of removal is made by the president.

Why did Federalists like Alexander Hamilton not want to place the impeachment process in the hands of the US Supreme Court?

Federalists like Alexander Hamilton and other Framers did discuss having the US Supreme Court handle the impeachment process. They believed as Hamilton did that the Court should not be involved. Actually, Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers, that impeachment was more than just an issue regarding the breaking of a law. Hamilton wrote that impeachment was primarily a political process to engage the interest of the entire US community.

Can the president remove the judge from the bench if he disagrees with the supreme court decision?

No, he can not. Removal of a judge from the supreme court requires a majority in the Congress. I think it requires a two thirds majority. Need to check. The process is called impeachment.
