A federal judge can be removed from office through the process of impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate. This requires a majority vote in the House to impeach the judge, followed by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate to convict and remove them from office.

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.
