Fred M. Vinson, 13th Chief Justice of the United States #85 (1890-1953) it seems appropriate here to note that Chief Vinson was the last Chief to be appointed by a Democratic President. (again, the date of last Chief Justice appointment by a Democrat was June 24, 1946.)
Fred M. Vinson #85 (1890-1953)
Vinson was the 13th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court serving as such from 1946 to June 12, 1967 (1890-1953). Fred preferred just plain ole Fred when people addressed him and frankly that was an endearing way of handling the disparity between their respective positions. (Chief/Justice)
