How old must the chief justice be?
There is currently no age requirement mandating retirement of Supreme Court justices, including the Chief Justice, although Congress has entertained legislation hoping to encourage earlier retirement in the past. Their efforts are hampered by a constitutional provision of Article III that says justices shall "hold their offices during good behavior," which prevents Congress from mandating retirement unless the justice becomes mentally incapacitated. Some states require their supreme court justices retire at a certain age, which varies by state.
Why have there been so few Supreme Court Chief Justices compared with US Presidents?
