"This means that the Justices hold office as long as they choose and can only be removed from office by impeachment. ... The only Justice to be impeached was Associate Justice Samuel Chase in 1805. The House of Representatives passed Articles of Impeachment against him; however, he was acquitted by the Senate."

Can a Supreme Court justice be impeached?
The Constitution provides that impeachment is only for “Bribery, treason or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” That generally means felonies. A felony is a crime for which the prison term is one year or more.
Impeachment is only an indictment, a formal charge. Only the Senate can remove a justice after they try him and find him guilty.
