Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Supreme Court in September 2005, following the death of former Chief Justice William Rehnquist. As of September 2011, his tenure on the Court will be six years.
All federal judgeships, including those of Supreme Court justices, are lifetime appointments that terminate when the justice retires, resigns, dies or is impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. Only one US Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached (Samuel Chase, 1804), and none has ever been convicted.

∙ 14y agoPresident Bush originally nominated Chief Justice Roberts to fill the upcoming vacancy that would be left when Sandra Day O'Connor retired from the bench, which was originally planned for fall 2005.
Chief Justice Rehnquist died on September 3, 2005, while Roberts was beginning to undergo the Senate confirmation process. President Bush quickly pulled Roberts' nomination to fill O'Connor's seat, and advanced him as a candidate for Chief Justice.
Roberts was confirmed by a Senate vote of 78-22, and assumed office on September 29, 2005, immediately before the start of the 2006-2006 Term.
Sandra Day O'Connor retired in January 2006, and was replaced by Samuel Alito.
