invocation of the Vacancies Act

While the Attorney General might be expected to defer to the President’s invocation of the Vacancies Act, courts may have different incentives. For instance, the President has the power to remove the Attorney General but not to remove judges. Judicial appointments under Section 546(d) therefore present the possibility for interbranch conflict over who is serving as interim or Acting U.S. Attorney. If an interim 120-day appointment expires under Section 546, a court could attempt to make an appointment under Section 546(d) at the same time that the President invokes the Vacancies Act. ดูหนัง2025
