Are US Supreme Court justices appointed?
Yes, US Supreme Court justices are appointed, rather than elected. The President nominates a candidate, and the Senate votes whether to confirm or reject the appointment. If a simple majority of Senators (51%) support the President's choice, then the person is appointed to the Supreme Court. The Constitution provides the justice shall serve "during good behavior," which means the appointment is for life, unless the justice commits an impeachable offense.
Is A Supreme Court appointment is a lifetime appointment?
Yes. Article III of the Constitution provides that all US Supreme Court justices, including the Chief Justice, serve "during good behavior," which means the appointment is for life unless the justice commits an impeachable offense and is removed from office. Supreme Court justices weren't eligible for retirement benefits until Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1869, so members of the early Court were much more likely to remain on the bench until death. Today, more justices choose retirement or, occasionally, resignation.
