I removed a parenthetical comment under Jay's time as Chief Justice. The comment asserted that the Judiciary Act of 1789 created the office of Chief Justice. That is incorrect, the Constitution presupposes a chief justice in Article I, Section 3 when it talks about how the chief justice will preside over the impeachment trials of the president. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.62.161.13 ( talk) 17:05, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

This section says "In 1768, after reading law and being admitted to the bar of New York, Jay, with the money from the government, established a legal practice and worked there until he created his own law office in 1771." What "money from the government"? Philgoetz ( talk) 03:29, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
I'll put this to the discussion before making official changes to the article. Is it really accurate to say that Jay was Minister to Spain? As the article says, his credentials were never accepted by the Spanish government, which is the official act that makes you an ambassador. Even the State Department Historian's website lists Jay as an "other nominee" instead of an official Chief of Mission. Something to think about.

That page says Jay served from mid-1783 while this page has a 1784 start-date. One is mistaken, anyone know? Maybe Rjensen? Thanks. Randy Kryn ( talk) 12:01, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
