None. Only the House of Representatives can bring impeachment charges in the United States. Impeachment in the House is similar to a grand jury indictment in criminal court. If the House votes to impeach a judge, the person is not removed from office unless convicted at trial in the Senate.

Who dismisses federal judges?
Article III (constitutional) federal judges cannot be dismissed, or fired, from their jobs as most employees can be.

The judge must have committed some legitimate form of wrongdoing; they can't be removed for frivolous reasons.

Can a judge be removed from office if Congress disagrees with his or her decision in a case?
No. A judge may be removed from office for misconduct (breaking the law). But while that isn't listed as grounds for impeachment of a federal judge in and of itself. however, congress sets its own rules of evidence and there is no court of appeal for their decision. If the essence of the case were that the jurists decision was so flawed that it indicated that the jurist was permanently impaired, incompetent, or corrupt and refused to step down from the bench, then impeachment might be called for. Only 14 federal judges have been removed by impeachment since 1789.
