Name the President who appointed the second most Supreme Court justices?
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the president who appointed the second most Supreme Court Justices. He appointed eight justices during his presidency.
Judges hold office during good behavior?
Some do. That's what the constitution says about the Supreme Court justices, for example.
Is there a limit to the number of US Supreme Court justices one President can appoint?
No. It only depends on how many supreme court justices leave office during the Presidents term. For example, if all of them died and/or decided to retire, the president would have the opportunity to appoint the entire bench.
Do US Supreme Court justices serve six-year terms?
No. Article III of the US Constitution states that judges and justices in the federal Judicial Branch serve "during good behavior," meaning they receive a lifetime appointment that can only be revoked if the justice commits an impeachable offense. A Supreme Court justice may be removed from the bench involuntarily if he or she is impeached by the US House of Representatives and convicted at trial in the Senate.
Do US Supreme Court Justices have to be reelected periodically?
They are never elected nor are they re-confirmed. The US Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life. They are nominated by the President and then confirmed by the U S Senate.On the other hand, state supreme court justices often have term limitations. In those states where justices are elected or reconfirmed periodically, the reelection process is instituted because justices may be eligible to serve multiple terms, and are placed on the court by general election.
