What Article of the Constitution explains how Congress can impeach federal judges?
According to Article I of the Constitution, the power of impeachment is vested in the Legislative branch.*
The House of Representatives brings charges, called "articles of impeachment," against officials it considers guilty of criminal or ethical violations. If a simple majority of the House finds sufficient evidence to support impeachment, the official proceeds to trial in the Senate.
The Vice-President of the United States presides over impeachment trials involving Article III federal judges and Supreme Court justices. Conviction requires a vote of two-thirds of the Senators present.
Impeachment only serves to remove a judge or other official from office; there are no other penalties associates with this process.
Article I, Section 3, Clause 7: "Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
* This applies to judges and justices appointed under Article III of the Constitution, which includes those who serve on US District Courts, US Courts of Appeals, and the US Supreme Court, as well as certain courts of limited jurisdiction. Judges appointed under Article I, who mainly deal with the interaction between the public and departments or functions of the government (such as Social Security Disability Appeals), are removed by a different process.
