Members of the Supreme Court are appointed for life. The reason is so that they do not have to worry about being thrown out of the court after making a decision. Hope this helped!

Answer:

Members of the Supreme Court are appointed for life.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court of Justice of the United States of America is the highest court in the United States of America. As such, the Court is the head of the Judiciary of the United States.

The Court is composed of a president (Chief Justice) and eight associate judges (Associate Justices), who are appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the "advice and consent" of the United States Senate. The appointed judges of the court serve for life and can only be dismissed by the Congress through an impeachment process. Judges can resign their position of their own accord. No judge has been removed from office, although many have retired or resigned.
