Changes in Federal Prosecutor Appointments: Presidential Role
This act changes the rules for appointing federal prosecutors in the United States. It stipulates that a person temporarily serving as a federal prosecutor can hold the position until the President appoints a permanent prosecutor. This means the President gains more control over filling these important positions, which could affect the stability and direction of prosecutorial actions concerning citizens.
Key points
The President gains more flexibility in appointing federal prosecutors, potentially speeding up vacancy fillings.
Individuals temporarily serving as federal prosecutors can remain in their roles longer, until a permanent candidate is designated by the President.
