Supreme Court appointments are made for life, unless the Justice is impeached by the House of Representatives and successfully tried in the Senate. The President never has the option of replacing a Justice on a whim.

The President may nominate a new Justice if a vacancy occurs on the Court while the President is in office; however, the only conditions under which this is possible is if a Justice dies in office, retires, resigns, becomes permanently incapacitated, or is impeached by the House and removed from office by a vote of the Senate.
