Explanation
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States of America. It consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and 8 associate justices, who are nominated by the phone call and confirmed by the Senate. Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment. The structure of the Supreme Court is described in the U.S. Constitution and its number of justices are defined by the Judiciary Act of 1869.
