OT Don't think so. CJUS is a constitutional office and cannot be limited by mere legislation -- while the various judiciary acts passed by congress include authorization of federal judge positions.

You may be correct. The Constitution is silent on "inferior" courts except that it says:

"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, ...."

This implies that Congress may establish the criteria of eligibility but, once in office, judges may only be removed by impeachment.
