after the 1952 election, president-elect eisenhower promised that he would appoint warren to the next vacancy on the supreme court of the united states. warren turned down the position of secretary of interior in the new administration, but in august 1953 he agreed to serve as the solicitor general of the united states. in september 1953, before warren's nomination as solicitor general was announced, chief justice fred m. vinson died. to fill the critical position of chief justice, eisenhower considered either elevating a sitting supreme court justice or appointing another individual with judicial experience, but he ultimately chose to honor his promise to appoint warren to the first supreme court vacancy. explaining warren's qualifications for the court, eisenhower wrote to his brother that "warren has had seventeen years of practice in public law, during which his record was one of remarkable accomplishment and success ... he has been very definitely a liberal-conservative; he represents the kind of political, economic, and social thinking that i believe we need on the supreme court." warren received a recess appointment in october 1953, and the senate confirmed warren's appointment by acclamation in march 1954. warren is the most recent supreme court justice to have held statewide elected office at any point in their career, as well as the most recent serving politician to be appointed to the supreme court.
