		Congress, in the exercise of its authority to constitute the Court, had provided that "[t]he Supreme Court shall consist of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices."[1] The matter of the Chief's true title has been surprisingly problematic for a considerable period of our national history.

		The Chief Justice of the United States serves not only as the head of the Supreme Court but also as the leader of the entire American judiciary, federal and state.[36] Chief Justice Chase, whatever his personal motive, obtained for the office a title which accurately signifies it dignity and importance.
