U.S. Constitution, Article III — The Judicial Branch, Section 1

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Notes

Establishes one Supreme Court and such inferior courts as Congress may ordain, and vests the judicial power of the United States in them. Allows judges of both to hold office during good behavior, and bars reducing their compensation while they remain in office.
