We need to flood Chief John Roberts' office with calls....

[Blues Heron]

24. It says the chief Justice will preside

(preside over)
be in charge of (a place or situation).
"he presided over a period of great budgetary recklessness"
synonyms:
be in charge of · be responsible for · be accountable for


Like a lot of our constitution, the document is silent on specifics. One thing it doesn't say is "sit there and let them hold a trial with no witnesses"

It doesn't say the role is ceremonial.

It doesn't say toss out your judicial ethics upon entering the senate chamber.

Please show me where in the constitution it says that.

That would have been laughed out of the room back in the day. We're in a new regime though now, anything goes.
