S. 2634: Restoring Executive Power To Appoint United States Attorneys Act of 2025

This bill, known as the "Restoring Executive Power To Appoint United States Attorneys Act of 2025," proposes changes to the procedures for appointing United States attorneys. The main objectives of the bill include:

Appointment Changes

The bill seeks to amend a section of the United States Code that relates to the appointment of United States attorneys. Specifically, it proposes to remove existing provisions that allow the Attorney General and other officials to appoint interim United States attorneys.

Presidential Authority

Under the proposed changes, individuals appointed as United States attorneys would be able to serve only until the President appoints a new United States attorney for that district. This means that the current practice of having interim appointments by the Attorney General would be curtailed, and the power would revert to the President for making appointments to fill vacancies in these positions.

Impact on Terms

With this legislation, the term of an interim appointed United States attorney would end once the President has appointed a permanent replacement. This aims to centralize the authority to appoint U.S. attorneys back to the executive branch, ensuring that the appointments align with the President's preferences and policies.

In summary, this bill primarily focuses on rekindling the President's role in the appointment of United States attorneys by changing the current interim appointment procedure and ensuring that the appointment power is reinstated in the executive branch.
