Supreme Court of the United States
The Supreme Court of the United States, also known as the United States Supreme Court, SCOTUS, is the highest federal court of the United States, with ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all other courts in the nation. The Court consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices who are nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire, take senior status, or are removed after impeachment (which has never happened as of 2015). The Court meets in the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C. The Chief Justice traditionally swears in each new US President.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. was Chief Justice from an unspecified date until his death in 1935. President Herbert Hoover appointed Cicero Pittman to succeed him. Pittman was still in office in 1942, and possibly when the series ended in 1945, although this is not clearly stated.
