Answer:

This could be a problem because the representatives would not be able to control the actions of the President.

Step-by-step explanation:

mrsedlack, you did not fully answer the question larissaortiz5 asked. They asked what if the President was able to fire the Justices, not if they were able to.

The President is unable to fire a justice.

Supreme Court justices are given lifetime appointments to the US Supreme Court, which means that they are given the benefit of protection from the political winds.

Justices can be impeached, but that would be done by Congress.
