It think it takes an Amendment. Congress could try, but it will be challenged in courts run by judges whose jobs are on the line.

Tenure[ edit]The Constitution provides that judges "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour." The term "good behaviour" is interpreted to mean that judges may serve for the remainder of their lives, although they may resign or retire voluntarily. A judge may also be removed by impeachment and conviction by congressional vote (hence the term good behaviour); this has occurred fourteen times. Three other judges, Mark W. Delahay, [5] George W. English, [6] and Samuel B. Kent, [7] chose to resign rather than go through the impeachment process.
