Praxis 5511 Practice Question
U.S. Supreme Court justice term is ____.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: U.S. Supreme Court justices serve lifetime appointments, meaning they remain in office until they choose to retire, resign, or are removed for high crimes. This ensures judicial independence.
Option A is incorrect as justices do not serve until a president's term ends; they are appointed for life. Option B is misleading; there are no set terms for justices, as they do not serve limited terms like elected officials. Option C is also wrong; justices are not subject to reconfirmation after a specific period, as their appointments are intended to be permanent unless removed for serious misconduct.
