It depends on the school. Commonly in American liberal arts colleges, if you're lucky enough to have a tenure-track position, you have to work in that position for 3 or 5 years. Then you go before the tenure committee, which considers your professional development (how well you've taught classes, how much you've participated in faculty governance, books/articles/musical pieces you've written). You're then voted on by the faculty committee.
As I say, it differs in every college, but that's the basic outline.
