Use Obama as you test case, and see if you really want to
give him that kind of power.

Use Obama as you test case, and see if you really want to give him that kind of power.

It would NOT be the power of the president alone. The people would have to be involved, and it would be after 10 years serving as Justice. And, a lot of Justices would be in SCOTUS longer than the maximum that a president serves. In addition, it would be the same for any president, regardless of party affiliation. Think about how it would be if Trump had the power. Obama might not have gotten into the presidency if the people knew that he had THIS kind of power.

If not this kind of limit and control, then, automatic retirement at 80 years of age. Most people WANT to be retired way before 80, so, why should Justice's term be limited by death or near death/
