Does the vice-president always acts as judge in an impeachment trial?
As President of the Senate, the U.S. Vice President presides over most impeachment trials. However, Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that when the President is on trial the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides. And although the Constitution doesn't say, I assume that would also be the case if the Vice President were the defendant in an impeachment trial (an incumbent U.S. Vice President has never been impeached to date).
What other position does the vice president also hold?
He is the Vice President of the United States and is the President of the Senate unless there is an impeachment trial, then the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the impeachment trial.
Who presides over non-presidential impeachment cases?
The Presiding Officer of the Senate, presides over non-presidential impeachment cases. Generally that is the Vice President of the United States. In his/her absence or if the Vice President has a conflict of interest, then it is the President pro tempore of the Senate. The Senate may also appoint some other Senator to serve as the Presiding Officer. The US Constitution requires the Chief Justice of the United States to preside only in presidential impeachment trials.
Is it true or false that the chief justice presides over all impeachment trails?
False. The Chief Justice must preside over only impeachments of a President. Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 states in part: "When the President of the United States is tried, the chief justice shall preside..." Since the US Constitution fails to mention any other impeachment trials, the Senate has adopted rules that provide the Presiding Officer of the Senate (whether the Vice President, President pro tempore or other presiding officer designated by the Senate) shall preside in impeachment trials of other officials. In addition, in some instances, the Senate creates an impeachment trial committee to take evidence and to then report such evidence to the full Senate for its deliberation and vote.
Who presides over any impeachment trail of the president of the United States?
The vice-president of the US normally presides over the senate, including impeachment trials. In the special case that the president is impeached, the Chief Justice of the US presides over the trial.
Who would normally preside over an impeachment trial?
The Chief Justice of the United States presides over a US Presidential impeachment trial; an "Impeachment Trial Committee" comprising Senators selected by the Presiding Officer of the Senate* is in charge of all other impeachment trials. This practice began in 1986 when the Senate amended its rules and procedures for impeachment trials.* The Presiding Officer is not a fixed position. The Vice-President (currently Joe Biden), who also serves as President of the Senate, could be the Presiding Officer; or, in his (or her) absence, the President pro tempore (currently Daniel Inouye, D-HI) could preside; or, anyone the President of the Senate or President pro tempore designates -- even a Junior Senator -- could serve in that capacity.

The Supreme Court plays no role in impeachment trials.
