Chief Justice the head of the Judiciary Branch of our government.
The Chief Justice is the chair of the Judicial Conference and the Federal Judicial Center and oversees the Administrative Office of the U. S. Courts.
The Chief Justice has a position on the board of the National Gallery of Art, is the Chancellor of the Smithsonian Institution, and the Hirshorn Museum.
The Chief Justice also presides over impeachment trials of the President. Not exactly a figure head has a lot of other duties.

Thanks. All the more reason it should go to Thomas or Scalia.
