Rehnquist presided over the Court from 1986-2005, making him the Chief Justice with the fourth longest tenure.

Kennedy is considered the "swing vote" on the Court because his conservative ideology is tempered by strong support for individual rights, such as privacy.

How is the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court chosen?
He (or she) is nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by a simple majority (51%) vote of the Senate. All Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the president; no person becomes a Supreme Court Justice without a presidential nomination. Nominees are then voted on by the Senate. If the Senate rejects a nominee, which does happen, then the president chooses another nominee. If the President selects an Associate Justice to become Chief Justice, he or she is said to be "elevated," rather than appointed. The Chief Justice remains Chief Justice until resignation (or death), and the person nominated by the president to take the vacant seat becomes the Chief Justice.
