Have there been more Chief Justices of the US Supreme Court than Presidents?
No, just the opposite. There have only been 17 Chief Justices; there have been 44 US Presidents (43, if you consider Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms). There have been fewer Chief Justices because they are not subject to term limits. Once appointed, Associate Justices and Chief Justices serve for life or until they retire, resign, die or are impeached, so they are typically in office much longer than the President.
