The Restoring Executive Power To Appoint United States Attorneys Act of 2025 would modify federal law to change how U.S. attorneys are appointed when a vacancy occurs. Currently, federal law allows certain officials to make temporary appointments to fill vacancies, but this bill would streamline that process by allowing the President to appoint someone to serve until a permanent successor is officially qualified. The legislation affects U.S. attorneys across all federal judicial districts and their appointment procedures. The bill contains no funding provisions or specific timelines for implementation—it would take effect once enacted. Essentially, the bill shifts more direct appointment power to the President during periods when U.S. attorney positions are vacant.
