The Legislative Branch
The US House of Representatives has exclusive constitutional authority to initiate impeachment proceedings.
US Supreme Court justices may be impeached by the House and removed from office if convicted in a Senate trial, but only for "high crimes and misdemeanors," or other offenses described in Articles I, II and III of the Constitution.
Contrary to popular belief, Supreme Court justices don't serve "for life"; they serve "during good behavior." While this is usually the equivalent of a lifetime commission, the phrase means justices may be impeached for the same reasons the President or other government officials can be removed.
