Removed by? Sessions
Reappointed by? TRUMP
__________________________
Nit-pick:
reappointed by Trump, then appointment affirmed by Sessions, then reconfirmed by Senate.
So: Sessions acted on behalf of POTUS. Senate could hardly go against previous confirmation, making Huber a shoe-in.
I tend to think extending his tenure past 2019 was a factor.
Unsure if re-appointed due to future deligitimization of zer0’s administration, which would be a huge can of worms.
As long as we are nit-picking.
About half the US Atoorneys resigned when Trump was sworn in.
AG Sessions was himself appointed in Feb. March 10, he requests resignation letters from 46 USA, including Huber. Within a week, Huber is named interim USA by Sessions, under the Vacancise Reform Act. This designation is good for 120 days.
Trump nominated Huber for USA/Utah on June 15, 2017. . Huber was confirmed by the Senate on a voice vote on August 3.
Senate confirms Huber as U.S. attorney for Utah, returning him to old job
