Who is the current Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court?

• A. John G. Roberts
• B. Clarence Thomas
• C. Stephen Breyer
• D. Sonia Sotomayor

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is who leads the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice is the head of the Court, presiding over its sessions and handling key administrative duties, including overseeing opinions and ceremonial roles like administering the oath to the President. The person in that role has been John G. Roberts since 2005, after being nominated by a president. The other names listed are all well-known members of the Court, but they are not the Chief. Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor are Associate Justices, and Stephen Breyer is also an Associate Justice. So the current Chief Justice is John G. Roberts.
