News India Live, Digital Desk: There is an age limit for every government job across the world, whether it is 60, 62 or 65. But when we look at America, the picture there appears completely changed. Currently, the case of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro is being discussed, whose hearing is in the hands of a 92-year-old experienced judge.
Why is there no retirement age?
Actually, in America, federal judges are appointed under ‘Article III’. “Life Tenure” Is meant for. The Constitution says that judges can hold office as long as their conduct remains “good.” This simply means that there is no fixed retirement age for judges (like 65 or 70 years).
Unless the judge resigns of his own free will or a serious impeachment is filed against him, he can continue to sit on the chair till his last breath.
What is the reason behind this?
The idea behind this is that judges should not come under any political pressure. When a judge knows that no one can remove him from his job, nor does he have to worry about getting another job after retirement, he is able to take decisions more fearlessly and impartially.
Is this correct?
There is a lot of debate on this in America. Some say experience is unmatched—92 years of age means decades of deep knowledge. On the other hand, a large section also believes that with increasing age, health problems and outdated thoughts can become a problem in the complex matters of the modern world.
At present, the case of Nicolas Maduro proves that the American system still follows its age-old tradition. It is indeed interesting and a matter of debate that such an elderly person will be in charge of a matter which will have an impact on international politics.
