I'm Domald Trump. I MAKE MY OWN RULES !!

Can the Department of Justice’s specific succession statute can be supplanted by a presidential appointment under the FVRA. Section 508 directly addresses Justice Department succession and provides that “n case of a vacancy in the office of Attorney General, ... , the Deputy Attorney General may exercise all the duties of that office.” The statute further provides that if both the attorney general and the deputy attorney general are unavailable or unable to serve, the associate attorney general “shall act” as attorney general. The statute also authorizes the attorney general to “designate” the solicitor general and the various assistant attorney generals in “further order of succession.” Under the current attorney general order, the solicitor general is next in the line of succession.

The word "shall" is legally nebulous...In many cases, it can be construed into the permissive "may", which also means that one "may not".

This is "settled law"....You can look it up in Black's Law Dictionary...I have.

No you haven't. Why do you insist on lying in every post you make. Literally.

Do you like your crow barbecued or broiled?

All you had to do was Google it....Eat it, loser.

It's not even a law. It's just a DOJ "policy."

POLICY HUH - its a statute dumbass, a written LAW.

You said "Department of Justice’s specific succession statute." If the Department of Justice wrote it, then it's not a law. Later it says "Under the current attorney general order." That means the AG issued it, and it's not a law. The title of this thread refers to "DOJ protocol." Protocol sure as hell isn't law.

What is SHALL? definition of SHALL (Black's Law Dictionary)

As used in statutes and similar instruments, this word is generally imperative or mandatory; but it may be construed as merely permissive or directory, (as equivalent to “may,”) to carry out the legislative intention and In cases where no right or benefit to any one depends on its being taken in the imperative sense, and where no public or private right is impaired by its interpretation in the other sense. Also, as against the government, “shall” is to be construed as “may,” unless a contrary intention is manifest. See Wheeler v. Chicago, 24 111. 105, 76 Am. Dec. 736; People v. Chicago Sanitary Dist., 184 111. 597, 56 N. E. 9.”.:;: Madison v. Daley (C. C.) 58 Fed. 753; Cairo & F. R. Co. v. Ilecht, 95 U. S. 170, 24 L. Ed. 423. SHAM PLEA. See PLEA. SHARE 1082 SHERIFF

It does not say must it says MAY. The President is free to appoint anyone he wants for 200 or some odd days before the senate must vote on permanent replacement, you people are beyond stupid.

And even at that, "must" is in the same legal league with "shall"...Completely dependent upon context.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

I am amazed at how many people don't understand the concept of legal standing.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Who has standing to take it to court? Rosenstein? After he gets fired then who? Trump can arrange his DOJ team any way he wants to on a temporary basis. The senate will get to approve his new AG in due time.

No he can't not, according to the Constitution komrade.

The Constitution actually says he gets to appojnt whom ever he wants and that the Senate must approve HOWEVER that is for permanent appointment the Federal law allows him to appoint ANYONE he wants on a temporary basis till he chooses who will be permanent and that is good for over 200 days. You retards do not even know the ,law.

What he's attempting to do is unconstinutional. Where are the so-called "Pro Constitution" rightwingers w/their outrage of going against the Constitution?

It looks to me like he can do it:
