HELPFUL BIOGRAPHIES FOR THE CEREMONY

Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 80, will administer the presidential oath of office to George W. Bush. Rehnquist also administered the presidential oath to Bush in 2001, to Bill Clinton in 1993 and 1997 and to George H. W. Bush in 1989.

Considered one of the most conservative justices on the court, William Hubbs Rehnquist was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October 1, 1924. He married Natalie Cornell, now deceased, and has three children: James, Janet, and Nancy. From 1943–1946 he served in the U.S. Army Air Forces.

He served as Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel from 1969–1971.

Rehnquist was nominated to the Court in 1972 and affirmed as an Associate Supreme Court Justice by a 68-26 Senate vote on October 21, 1971. He took his oath of office on January 7, 1972. In 1986, Ronald Reagan nominated him for Chief Justice on June 20, 1986. After much controversy, mostly due to a pro-segregationist paper he had written in 1952, he was affirmed as Chief Justice by a 65-33 Senate vote on September 25, 1986. He took was sworn in as Chief Justice on September 26.

On October 25, 2004, Rehnquist underwent throat surgery for previously unannounced thyroid cancer. He has not been present for oral arguments at the Court since then but began working on Court business in late December.

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, 63, a Representative from Illinois; born in Aurora, Kane County, Ill., January 2, 1942; B.A., Wheaton College, Wheaton, Ill., 1964; M.S., Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Ill.,1967; teacher and athletic coach at Yorkville High School; business owner; member of the Illinois state house of representatives, 1980- 1986; elected as a Republican to the One Hundredth and to the nine succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1987-present); Hastert was tapped after Speaker-designate Bob Livingston resigned from the House over extra-marital affairs and was officially selected on December 19, 1998. Married to Jean, sons Ethan and Joshua.

There have only been three other such occasions where the Speaker of the House swore in a Vice President: 1. On January 20, 1961, Sam Rayburn swore in Lyndon Baines Johnson as John F. Kennedy's VP. Rayburn was Speaker of the House from 1940-1961 with the exception of 1947-1949 and 1953-1955 when Republicans were in control and he served as Minority Leader. 2. On January 20, 1965, John William McCormack swore in Hubert Humphrey as LBJ's VP. McCormack was Speaker of the House from 1961-1971. 3. On January 20, 1977, Tip O'Neill (Thomas Philip O'Neill) swore in Walter Mondale as Jimmy Carter's VP. O'Neill was Speaker of the House from 1977-1987
