This bill, the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act of 2022, aims to amend Title 28 of the United States Code to provide for the duration of active service of Supreme Court Justices. The key provisions include establishing that the President shall nominate and appoint one new Justice during the first and third years after a presidential election, and that each new Justice shall serve in regular active service for 18 years before being deemed to have retired under Section 371. The bill also addresses the status of current Justices, stating that they shall be deemed to have retired in order of their length of service as new Justices are appointed. Additionally, the bill amends Section 294 to allow for a retired Justice to serve as an associate Justice if the number of Justices falls below the statutory requirement due to vacancy, disability, or disqualification.
