Answer:
The Judges that are appointed to the United States Supreme Court Serve for life. They are called justices once they are appointed. Technically we say their terms on the Supreme Court are for life, but they each individually may opt to retire and in very rare instances they may be removed. The most recent justice to retire was Anthony M. Kennedy. Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President.
Explanation:
The Supreme Court of the United States was established by Article III of the Constitution as the highest court authority in the country. The court has what is called appellate jurisdiction over any court case that involves an issue pertaining to federal law, meaning they have the power to reverse the decisions of other courts in the United States due to the structure of authority between the courts. The original jurisdiction (meaning the cases directly assigned to them to be heard the first time) of the Supreme Court is limited to ambassadors, public ministers, and cases that involve states. The court is now colloquially known by the acronym SCOTUS.
