Supreme court judges are appointed for life terms. He did appoint Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer in 2022. It was the best he could do under our laws. The nominee also has to be approved bythe US Senate. As to the EO's, even when it's outside of his authority!

There are all of the above in place, but all 3 branches of our govt are complicit by not doing their jobs. The Dem's don't have a majority anywhere and resort to constitutional lawsuits. Then it ultimately goes beffore our Supreme Court which is heavily conservative... a crap shoot nowadays.

Here as well, but not on your scale. Mostly in long established urban areas. When I say long established I mean all the way back to the 17th and 18th centuries... which sounds like a joke when talking to you! Sometimes in rural areas too where there are obvious signs of indigenous occupation.

And we have less than 400 years of "European" history. Prior to that we had the indigenous folk whom we spent most of that time trying to extort, kill, relocate or ignore! We're a strange lot.

When my father-in-law was alive (God rest his soul) we used to collect Roman coins and I often puchased uncleaned/raw unearthed coins (from the Balkans mainly) to clean up, preserve and identify with him. That's a nicely struck one you have there. Well done, sir!
