Are federal courts judges appointed for life?

No, not all federal court judges are appointed for life. Article III (constitutional) court judges and justices are appointed to serve "during good behavior," which means "for life" unless the judge or justice commits an impeachable offense and is removed from office. This rule only applies to judges of the following courts:US District CourtsUS Court of International TradeUS Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsSupreme Court of the United StatesJudges of US Special Courts, like US Bankruptcy Courts, US Tax Court, US Court of Federal Claims, etc., are appointed to 15-year renewable terms of office. Federal magistrates, low-level judges who work in US District Courts, are hired directly by the District Court judges and serve eight-year renewable terms.The Article III is specific "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office." no amendments have been made to eliminate the Supreme court from "periods of good behavior" and the attempts to confuse with misleading claims is unfortunate.
