Article III, Section One states that judges of the Supreme Court and certain other courts as Congress may create shall hold their offices during good behavior and shall receive compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. So, neither the President nor Congress can fire a judge or cut his pay simply because they may not like a particular decision. They can be removed for cause though.

The Constitution allows federal judges to serve "during good behavior," and protects them from any reduction in salary. In this way, the Constitution prevents judges from being removed by a President who does not agree with their judicial philosophy, and also prevents congressional retaliation for unpopular decisions.

When did the US sign constitution?

September 17, 1787. The answer that was first here was 1776. I am sorry but that is not the right answer because it was a year that a famous document was signed but not this one. In 1776 The Declaration Of Independence was signed. The Constitution couldn't have come before The Declaration of Independence, because the Constitution is a document listing the law of The United States of America... We weren't in control of Great Britain when the Constitution was written.


Did the Framers of the Constitution intend the Supreme Court to have the power of judicial review as part of the system of checks and balances?

Ever since the court's ruling in Marbury V. Madison in 1803, judicial review has been an essential feature of the federal government's system of checks and balances. Judicial review gives the judicial branch a way to check the actions of both the legislative and the judicial branch.

What did the philosopher Montesquieu believed in?

Montesquieu is best known as the originator of the concept of separation of powers between the three branches of government, the executive, judicial, and legislative, which forms the basis of the US Constitution. He was most often quoted by the founding fathers during the debate over the Constitution, with the exception of the Bible. The infamous forgery "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" was an almost word for word copy of a French play "Conversations in Hell Between Montesquieu and Machiavelli"
