Judges serve AS LONG as they operate within moral and lawful limits... Good Behavior. See Article 3, Section 1, Clause 1 of the US Constitution.
The President appoints judges and is the Chief Executive Officer of the United States Government... (See Article 2, Section 1, Clause 1 US Constitution) and is also the Nation's Chief Constitutional Law Enforcement Officer, (See Article 2, Section 3 US Constitution). Acting within the authority of these Constitutional offices he may REMOVE a Judge for Bad Behavior... Activist judges can be fired by the President.
The removal of Judges by a president's order is part of the CHECKS AND BALANCES that are part of our Constitution and democratic Republic. Pres. Lincoln arrested and removed a Supreme Court Justice... setting a precedent for the future if the need arises to do the same.
