A chief justice is nominated by POTUS, the other associate justices do not take the chief justice's spot. A new chief justice is nominated and seated to fill the open seat.
The selection of a Chief Justice is only relevant as far as impeachment goes. All other matters have associate justices and chief justice on an equal standing.
This is true.
Has anyone picked up the bake?
