AI Summary
This bill, the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act of 2023, seeks to amend Title 28 of the United States Code to establish a fixed 18-year term for Supreme Court Justices. It requires the President to nominate and the Senate to confirm one new Justice during the first and third years after a presidential election, and limits Justices to a single 18-year term. The bill also addresses the status of current Justices, providing for their deemed retirement from regular active service as new Justices are appointed. Additionally, the bill allows for retired Justices to serve as associate Justices if the number of active Justices falls below the statutorily required level due to vacancies, disabilities, or disqualifications.
