The term of office for Supreme Court justices is a lifetime appointment, as stated in the United States Constitution. According to the Constitution, Justices "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour"
. This means that they hold their positions unless they resign, pass away, or are impeached and convicted by Congress
. The lifetime appointment is intended to insulate the justices from political pressure when deciding cases
. The idea of imposing term limits for Supreme Court justices has been proposed, with suggestions such as 18-year terms to regularize the appointment process
. However, as of now, the term of office for Supreme Court justices remains a lifetime appointment.
