Answer 1

C) can serve in their positions for life.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Unlike the presidents, members of the Supreme Court can serve in their positions for life.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court of the United States is the head of judiciary in the trilateral system operating in the United States, next to the executive (President) and legislative (Congress).

The court consists of 9 judges. They are appointed by the President, then their candidacy must be approved by the Senate. After being elected, the term of office of the judge is unlimited and they usually serve until the age or worsening health condition leads them to voluntarily retire. This system is intended to ensure the full independence of judges and free them from any political pressure.
