President Nixon nominated Warren Burger to succeed Chief Justice Earl Warren, who retired at the end of the 1968-1969 Supreme Court Term. Nixon's predecessor, President Lyndon Johnson, originally nominated Associate Justice Abe Fortas to fill the vacancy, but encountered so much resistance in the Senate that the nomination was withdrawn. Fortas later resigned due to a conflict of interest.
Chief Justice Burger presided over the Court from 1969-1986, when he retired and was succeeded by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist.
