Doesn't the Constitution require the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court preside over impeachment trials?
Yes, and it's pretty clear and explicit:
"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside"
