Impeachment.

The Constitution authorizes the House of Representatives to bring articles of impeachment against a Supreme Court justice under those circumstances. If the House votes to impeach, the justice would then face trial in the Senate. A two-thirds vote of the Senate is required for conviction and removal.

This is a formal process used to remove a public official from office; often, the implied threat of impeachment is sufficient to induce an official to resign or retire.

Serious misconduct may also warrant bringing criminal charges against the official.
