A federal judge is removed only after House impeachment and Senate conviction. Which constitutional accountability mechanism is this?
A
Judicial review, allowing judges to be removed when they invalidate laws, because striking statutes is an impeachable offense automatically.
B
Impeachment and removal, where the House impeaches and the Senate tries the case, providing a political check on Article III judges.
C
A vote of no confidence, where Congress removes judges by simple majority whenever public approval of courts drops significantly.
D
Presidential removal authority, where the President can fire judges for misconduct as part of managing the executive branch.
E
Term limits, where judges automatically leave after twelve years, and impeachment is unavailable for the judiciary under Article III.
