In a typical diagram illustrating the checks and balances of the U.S. government, the power of Congress to remove federal judges through impeachment would be represented by an arrow pointing from Congress to the judiciary. This indicates the ability of the legislative branch to check the judicial branch by removing judges from their positions if they are deemed to be unfit for office. If you have a specific diagram in front of you, look for the arrow that connects Congress to the judiciary or federal judges to identify this check on judicial power.
Federal judges can be fired by Congress. Which arrow on the diagram stands for this check on judicial power?
