That’s the problem — leftist professors convinced all of their students that you can be removed for spitting too much, but not for being a creepy anti-constitutional tyrant.
The bar of impeachment is high to begin with. For judges, it’s impossible the way they choose to interpret.
Thank you for pointing this out!
So no term or age limits absent a constitutional amendment.
