Best Answer

The Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) presides. This position is often referred to as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but the latter title is formally correct.

The current Chief Justice, John G. Roberts, Jr., was nominated by President George W. Bush and took office on September 29, 2005.

The official title is Chief Justice of the United States; however, most people refer to this person as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, because that is his (or her) primary job.

In 2005, President George W. Bush appointed Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., to succeed William H. Rehnquist, who had died in office. Chief Justice Roberts will preside over the Court until he retires, resigns, dies or (unlikely) is impeached. All Supreme Court appointments are lifetime commissions.
