Article 3, Section 1, Clause; judges hold office for their lifetime. The Change I made was that judges only hold office until they are 75 years old. The founding fathers probably chose this as a clause because life expectancy wasn't very long in 1787. The life expectancy was around 38 years old in 1787. This means that in 1797 judges wouldn't really hold office for that long, so it wouldn't be an unfair amount of time The positive things that would come out of the change would be, people might make better decisions knowing they have less time in office.This also gives other judges a chance, because they don't have to wait until the present judges step down. The negative effects would be that if there happened to be a very good judge, they would have to retire, even if they were the best judge. An example of this would be that I know someone who is about 75 years old and they have the best judgement of things. Getting older doesn't always mean that your judgement is worse. I do and don’t agree with this change. Some people may not be fit to be a judge after 75, because of judgement but some very good judges, as bright as bulb, but would still have to retire.
