Which of the following is NOT a way for a judge to vacate his or her office?

a. resignation

c. impeachment

b. dismissal

d. death

Judges can resign from their office and of course, if they die, their term ends and a new judge is chosen.

If the judge is not effective or else needs to be removed for any reason, they can't be dismissed, they can only be removed through an impeachment process - the correct answer is b. dismissal.
