Federal judge

A U.S. federal judge is appointed by the U.S. president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in accordance with Article 3 of the Constitution.

Federal judges in the United States are appointed for life (impeachment through the U.S. Congress is possible).

In the words of the Federal Constitution, the judge is an organ of the Judiciary.

In addition, it also judges other matters, such as those involving foreign States, the dispute over indigenous rights, cases relating to nationality and naturalization, and the execution of foreign judgment.

In criminal matters, among others, it judges political crimes and criminal offenses committed to the detriment of goods, services or interests of the Union or its municipal entities or public companies, crimes against the organization of work and, as a general rule, crimes committed on board ships or aircraft.
