H.R. 4984, the No Appointments by Rogue Judges Act, modifies federal law governing how vacancies in U.S. Attorney positions are filled. The bill amends Title 28 of U.S. Code by removing a provision that previously allowed certain judicial appointments to fill these vacancies and instead limits the process to follow standard time limitations outlined in federal statute. The legislation affects U.S. Attorneys—the chief federal prosecutors in each district—and the procedures for appointing temporary replacements when positions become vacant. The bill contains no explicit funding requirements or implementation timelines in the provided text, though it would apply immediately upon enactment. Introduced in August 2025, the measure was referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.
