Bill > S2634

This bill, known as the "Restoring Executive Power To Appoint United States Attorneys Act of 2025," proposes a change to federal law regarding the appointment of United States attorneys, which are federal prosecutors responsible for representing the United States government in criminal and civil legal proceedings within their specific judicial districts. The bill specifically amends Section 546 of Title 28 of the United States Code by removing existing provisions about temporary appointments and replacing them with a new subsection that allows an interim or acting United States attorney to serve only until a permanent U.S. attorney is appointed by the President and qualified for the position. This change effectively restores and clarifies the executive branch's power to appoint U.S. attorneys, potentially reducing the duration of interim appointments and ensuring more direct presidential control over these crucial prosecutorial positions.
