President John Adams appointed Chief Justice Marshall to the Supreme Court in 1801 to succeed Oliver Ellsworth, who retired due to ill health. Marshall presided over the Court until his death in 1835, a little more than 34 years. He had the longest tenure as Chief Justice in the history of the Court.
