Board
The Foundation is governed by its own Board, which has sole responsibility to determine whether to accept gifts offered to the Foundation. By statute, the Chief Justice of the United States appoints the Board chair and two other members; the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tem of the Senate appoint two Board members each. All serve five year terms. No member of the Board may be a federal or state judge or a person otherwise eligible to perform judicial duties.
