3. Not necessarily for a full term

Yes they have a set term. But in some instances if the term expires, the current appointee can stay on until a replacement is appointed. The replacement then only serves whatever amount of time is left since the prior term expired. So even where a position has a five year term, an appointmee may have less than that if the position has been vacant or in holdover status for a period of time before the appointment.
