You have to be really smart and go to a top law school--think top 25.
To be considered for the position of a Supreme Court Justice, qualifications typically include being a U.S. citizen, having a strong legal background with experience as a judge or lawyer, possessing a deep understanding of the law and the Constitution, and demonstrating impartiality and integrity.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan are current Supreme Court justices. They are women. Sandra Day O'Connor is a former Supreme Court justice. She is also a woman. There are no constitutional qualifications for Supreme Court Justices. No age requirement, education requirement, or even a citizenship requirement. Never mind a protected class.
You retire or resign.
Associate Justice is the formal title for any US Supreme Court justice who is not the Chief Justice. There are eight Associate Justices and one Chief Justice on the Supreme Court.
The American Bar Association issues an opinion about the professional competence and qualifications of US Supreme Court nominees and potential nominees.
The U. S. Constitution does not set qualifications to be a supreme court justice. However, only the president can nominate a candidate, and the U. S. Senate has the power of confirmation.
Thurgood Marshall's careers were an attorney and A Supreme Court Justice .
To become a Supreme Court justice, one must be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. There are no specific qualifications outlined in the Constitution, but typically justices have legal experience, such as serving as a judge or lawyer. They are appointed for life and must demonstrate a strong understanding of the law and a commitment to upholding the Constitution.
The Chief Justice presides over the US Supreme Court. At present, the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court is John G. Roberts, Jr.
No. The Constitution doesn't list any requirements for Supreme Court nominees; the appropriate qualifications are left to the President and Congress to determine, and have evolved over the years. There is no "natural born" citizen or minimum age mandate, either.
He would have to resign as President in order to become a justice. I doubt that he would be confirmed. He has no experience as a judge and, of course, he is an active politician and his political views are well-known.
Yes. The Chief Justice leads or "presides over" the Supreme Court.
