Answer:

Federal judges are nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate before they can take office. Once appointed, federal judges serve lifetime appointments unless they resign, retire, or are impeached and removed by Congress. Judges can be removed from office through the impeachment process, which involves a vote by the House of Representatives and a trial in the Senate. Judges must be sixty-five or older to retire with full pay, or seventy to retire without penalty.
