What happens to the judges appointed by a president convicted of sedition?

[maxrandb]

I think this is something that needs to be discussed.

Don't know the remedy, but do we just pretend they have legitimacy?

1. Nothing happens.

Federal judges, right up to the SCOTUS, can only be removed by impeachment and conviction by Congress.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Same thing we do about the SCOTUS demonic entities.

Nothing.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. The Senate confirmed them, but...

[Ocelot II]

4. Nothing. They were validly appointed by a person who was the legit president

at the time of their appointment. They can't be sacked retroactively if the president turns out to have been a criminal. Nobody suggested that wrt Nixon's appointees.

7. What if he wasn't the legitimate president?

What if, among the documents he stole, was evidence that the 2016 election was rigged and he was only sworn in because the vote was manipulated in key places? He denied collusion so much, we all know in our guts - yeah. He colluded. But it may have gone beyond collusion and he may never have been elected in the first place.

I would think that would nullify everything he touched.

8. How could that be proved?

10. The electors still voted for him.

The only vote that matters is the one in the Electoral College. Unless there’s evidence that vote was falsified (extremely unlikely since it isn’t a secret ballot; all the votes are public), the election — the actual election, not the popular vote that chooses the electors — was valid.

14. Nothing would be nullified

The Electoral College voted him in and he was sworn in. Nothing else matters. Constitutionally, he was the legitimately elected President.

5. Nothing

There is nothing to discuss. They stay on the bench until they resign, die, or are impeached and removed.

[SoCalDavidS]

6. Nada

And he hasn’t even been charged with sedition anyways.

[Demsrule86]

9. Nothing...the only remedy is impeachment and conviction.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

11. They were presumably approved by the Senate - so nothing.

[Emile]

12. It's automatic, they will all be replaced

when their time comes

[former9thward]

13. Why does it need to be discussed?

Was someone charged with sedition?

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Even If Someone Was So Charged...

...the judges stay. There's no cause to impeach because of the criminality of the person who nominated them.
The senate confirmed them; they're judges until they don't wish to continue.
I think we agree the OP is asking a silly question.

[Retrograde]

15. Nothing

As much as I hate the idea, Donnie was elected under the terms set out by the Constitution, and his appointees were duly confirmed by the Senate.

Now, if the judges had any self-respect they might resign, but if they had that much self-respect they probably wouldn't have let themselves get rammed through with a bare majority vote in the Senate.
