Well, see, you're one of those drooling liberal tyrants that reads things into the Constitution that simply aren't there. What Article II says on the subject is only that "[the President] shall nominate ... Judges of the supreme Court[.]"
Where Congress gets off enacting this "Chief Justice" business is anyone's guess, since its regulatory powers are confined to tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court and its power over the Court itself is limited to tinkering with its appellate jurisdiction.
So John Roberts, according to "strict constructionism," is merely an unconstitutional potentate.
