Does congress have the right to remove federal court judges with a vote in the senate?
Yes, Congress has the authority to remove federal judges through a process known as impeachment. This process begins in the House of Representatives, which can impeach a judge by a simple majority vote. If impeached, the judge is then tried in the Senate, which must vote by a two-thirds majority to convict and remove the judge from office. This mechanism ensures a system of checks and balances within the federal government.
