The President can appoint anyone he wants. In a temporary situation he is limited to 200 and some days by Federal law before he has to take it to the Senate. That is FEDERAL LAW. Now be specific and cite the article section and paragraph of the Constitution that stops him?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.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.
