US Attorney Firings Set Stage for Congressional Battle
A little-noticed provision passed last year allows Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales to appoint interim US attorneys indefinitely without seeking approval from the Senate. Fearing an attempted end run around Congressional prerogatives, both House and Senate Democrats have introduced legislation to repeal the provision. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on the issue Tuesday.
