And then who watches the President?

See above: "subject, of course, to override by the Congress."

While there should be a check on this un-elected branch, an
adaptation of the older English provision where the House of
Lords was the final judicial body may be in order. The Senate
could set as a "committee of the whole."

And who watches them? :-)

Impeachment [should] depends on the commission of "high crimes
and misdemeanors."

That is not correct.

That is part of the standard for removing "The President, Vice President, and
all civil officers of the United States..." (The other reasons are treason and
bribery.) [Article II, Section 4]

Supreme Court justices "shall hold their offices during good behavior."
[Article III, Section 1]

I am concerned with simple incompetence due
to senility and/or terminal illness. I would think that some
sort of annual physical and mental/psychatraic examinations
should be required, certainly after the age of 65. It appears in
many cases that critical points of constitutional law are decided
by people who nod and/or drool while setting on the bench, or who
are preoccupied with their rapidly approaching death.

"... during good behavior..."
