The president can remove his cabinet members and ambassadors and remove commands from generals and admirials. as he sees fit. Federal judges; however, serve for life and can only be removed after an impeachment trial by Congress.
When judges are disciplined they are said to be "censured." Judicial censure usually comes from a 'senior' court to the one the judge sits on, and who pass review on the judges actions and decisions. In jurisdictions where judges are elected officials, they may be voted out of office as a form of 'discipline.'
The phrase "all federal judges serve for good behavior" means that federal judges are appointed for life, but they can be removed from office if they engage in misconduct or criminal behavior. This provision, established in the U.S. Constitution, is intended to ensure judicial independence by protecting judges from political pressures. However, the mechanism for removal involves impeachment by the House of Representatives and a trial in the Senate. Essentially, as long as judges uphold their duties responsibly, they can serve indefinitely.
Judges are appointed to the federal courts by the President and they can serve for life. They never need to collect money from people or make campaign promises.They can feel comfortable making politically unpopular decisions without the fear of removal.
