They consider his appointment,office, powers, and influence both within the Court and in the Americansystem of government more generally. The chief justice presides overoral arguments and the justices’ private conferences. He speaks firstin those conferences, presents cases and other matters to the otherjustices, and assigns the Court’s opinions in all cases in which he voteswith the majority.
