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.
