The US President nominates the Chief Justice, who may already be an Associate Justice or may be someone outside the Supreme Court. The Senate must confirm the nomination by a simple majority vote.
No, neither the Chief Justice nor any of the other Supreme Court justices are in the President's line of succession.
There are no terms for US Supreme Court Justices. A Chief Justice may remain in that office until he or she decides to leave or is unable to do the job any more (as in very sick or dead). If a Chief Justice steps down, the Senior Associate Justice serves in his (or her) capacity on an interim basis until the Chief Justice is able to return to work or the President and Senate choose a successor. This has happened a few times in the history of the Supreme Court.
In the United States, the President chooses a Chief Justice's successor after the Chief Justice dies or announces his (or her) retirement or resignation. As with any other Supreme Court appointment, the Senate must approve the nominee by a simple majority (51%) vote. The Senior Justice (the justice who has been on the Court longest) may temporarily serve in the capacity of Chief Justice if the seat becomes vacant while the nomination and confirmation process is in progress.
