Which of the following is true of Justices on the Supreme Court?

Question

They cannot ever be removed from the court no matter their actions.

They have the highest authority of any branch within the federal government.

They can declare a war unconstitutional and remove American troops from battle.

They have a life term so that they are not swayed easily by political opinion.

Answer 1

The statement that is true of Justices on the Supreme Court is:

They have a life term so that they are not swayed easily by political opinion.

Supreme Court Justices serve lifetime appointments, which are intended to insulate them from political pressures and public opinion, allowing them to make decisions based on their interpretation of the law and the Constitution.

The other statements are not accurate:

• Justices can be removed through the impeachment process.
• The Supreme Court does not have the authority to declare war; that power lies with Congress.
• While the Supreme Court can rule on the constitutionality of actions, it does not have the power to remove troops from battle directly.
