President Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated Harlan F. Stoneto succeed Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who retired in 1941. Stone presided over the Court from July 1941 until April 1946, when he died of a cerebral hemorrhage in open court while reading his dissent to the majority opinion in Girouard v. United States, 328 US 61 (1946). Chief Justice Stone is the only member of the Supreme Court to die while the Court was in session.
