[123] The general tendency in the evolution of legislative courts is to
provide for tenure during good behavior. This is true of the judges of
the Court of Claims, the Customs Court, the Court of Customs and Patent
Appeals. The terms of the judges of the Tax Court are limited to twelve
years and the judges are subject to removal by the President after
notice and hearing. For the provisions of the statutes governing these
matters _see_ 28 U.S.C. Sec. 241, 296, 301-301a; 26 U.S.C. Sec. 1102b, d,
f. The territorial judges in Alaska (48 U.S.C. Sec. 112) have four-year
terms subject to removal by the President; in Hawaii six years unless
removed by the President (48 U.S.C. Sec. 643), eight years in Puerto
Rico (28 U.S.C. Sec. 803); eight years in the Canal Zone subject to
removal by the President (48 U.S.C. Sec. 1353); and four years in the
Virgin Islands unless sooner removed by the President (48 U.S.C. Sec.
1405y).
