What is the US Supreme Court Chief Justice's role in the impeachment case of the President?
U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 3, Cl. 6:"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present."From Rules and Manual of the Senate; revised pursuant to S. Res. 479, 99-2, Aug. 16, 1986:"II. When the managers of an impeachment shall be introduced at the bar of the Senate and shall signify that they are ready to exhibit articles of impeachment against any person, the Presiding Officer of the Senate shall direct the Sergeant at Arms to make proclamation, who shall, after making proclamation, repeat the following words, viz: ''All persons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment, while the House of Representatives is exhibiting to the Senate of the United States articles of impeachment against --- ---''; after which the articles shall be exhibited, and then the Presiding Officer of the Senate shall inform the managers that the Senate will take proper order on the subject of the impeachment, of which due notice shall be given to the House of Representatives.""IV. When the President of the United States or the Vice President of the United States, upon whom the powers and duties of the Office of President shall have devolved, shall be impeached, the Chief Justice of the United States shall preside; and in a case requiring the said Chief Justice to preside notice shall be given to him by the Presiding Officer of the Senate of the time and place fixed for the consideration of the articles of impeachment, as aforesaid, with a request to attend; and the said Chief Justice shall be administered the oath by the Presiding Officer of the Senate and shall preside over the Senate during the consideration of said articles and upon the trial of the person impeached therein."Thus, the Presiding Officer of the Senate presides over Impeachment Trials of all Officers other than the President or the Vice President as Acting President.(These are examples of rules promulgated under the Constitution).
Why does the chief justice-not the president of the senate-preside over the impeachment trial of a president?
Such is what the rules of the Senate say. The president of the Senate is the vice-president who would take the president's office if he were convicted. He would have a conflict of interest, to be sure. Also, it is good to have an experienced judge rule over such an important trial.
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.
