This appears to be the relevant text

On its face, that says that SCOTUS judges hold their office for life (or until they voluntarily step down).

Maybe. Or the office is a Federal Judge. Pelosi just asked for term limits for Justices. The relevant sentece in an article about this says “It would require a constitutional amendment, or Congress could pass legislation requiring justices to retire, take “senior” status with lesser duties or move to an appeals court.”

A bill detailing how legislation could do this has been submittted a couple of times.

An Amendment would be moree definitive but legislation would also work. And Congress can add an amendment saying it is not reviewable by the Supreme Court. That is in the Constitution. Article III Section 2 - “…the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make”
