He (or she) is nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by a simple majority (51%) vote of the Senate.

If the Senate rejects a nominee, which does happen, then the president chooses another nominee.

The Chief Justice remains Chief Justice until resignation (or death), and the person nominated by the president to take the vacant seat becomes the Chief Justice.
