As discussed in class, as well as your textbook, those who occupy seats in the House, Senate, or White House serve for fixed terms, after which they must seek reelection. In the case of the Presidency, terms are further limited to service of two terms or a total of 10 years. Federal judges, however, do not serve under the same system of fixed terms.
All members of the judiciary, upon nomination and confirmation, serve an unlimited term on the bench. One outcome of this has been longer terms on the Supreme Court bench. From 1789 to 1970, the average Supreme Court Justice served for 15.2 years and retired at 68.5. But since 1970, the average tenure has risen to 25.5 years and the average age at departure to 78.8.
