William Hubbs Rehnquist (October 1, 1924 September 3, 2005) was an American lawyer and jurist who served on the Supreme Court of the United States for 33 years, first as an Associate Justice from 1972 to 1986, and then as the 16th Chief Justice of the United States from 1986 until his death in 2005. Considered a conservative, Rehnquist favored a conception of federalism that emphasized the Tenth Amendment's reservation of powers to the states. Under this view of federalism, the court, for the first time since the 1930s, struck down an act of Congress as exceeding its power under the Commerce Clause. Rehnquist served as Chief Justice for nearly 19 years, making him the fourth-longest- serving Chief Justice, and the eighth- longest- serving Justice. He became an intellectual and social leader of the Rehnquist Court. Derived from a Kirkus review: America's Chief Justice recounts the impeachment trials of, in 1805, US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase and, in 1868, President Andrew Johnson. Rehnquist straightforwardly narrates the case of Chase, an ornery Federalist justice who was impeached by Jeffersonian Republicans for bias, intemperate pronouncements from the bench, and erroneous rulings in his conduct of criminal trials under the controversial Sedition Act--as well as that of Johnson, whom Radical Republicans impeached for dismissing Secretary of War Stanton in violation of the Tenure in Office Act. The author points out that both men were acquitted because a number of senators defected from their party, and argues that the acquittals strengthened the constitutionally mandated separation of powers. In the case of Johnson, Rehnquist observes that up to then there has been only one serious attempt to impeach a president, and that was based on criminal activity and not disagreements on policy.
