The Supreme Court is the head of the Judicial Branch. Therefore, the Supreme Court Justices hold the "highest office" in that branch.
The Constitution sets no specific requirements for nominating judges and justices to the Judicial Branch, or constitutional courts established under Article III. However, members of Congress, who often recommend potential nominees, and the Department of Justice, which reviews nominees' qualifications, have developed their own informal criteria.
Article 3 describes the powers of the judicial branch.
There are none. The regulation to stop illegitimate people from holding this spot(like a baby) is up to the Senate

Judicial Branch, they serve in good behaviorThe Judicial Branch members serve for life.
The Legislative Branch for government trials and the Judicial Branch for public trials.
No. Only the Judicial branch has the Constitutional authority to declare laws unconstitutional.
The executive branch appoints federal judges subject to Senate confirmation. Therefore, the President can try to choose people that share his judicial philosophy. The president can also grant pardons for federal crimes.
Legislative Branch
The judiciary can hold the Executive branch to account for its actions; it is a system of 'checks and balances' that ensure no branch of government has too much power.
The independence of the judicial branch comes from Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution. This section states that judges of the Supreme Court and the lower courts created by Congress shall hold their offices during good behavior and shall receive a compensation that shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. Once appointed they serve for life unless they engage in criminal or improper activity. This prevents Congress or the President from intimidating the judicial branch by threatening to fire or cut the judge's salary because the judge made decisions the other branches did not like.
