It is not required that a SCOTUS justice be a lawyer. Does that hold true for the AG as well?

Different. To provide legal advice you have to be an attorney.

Disbarrment is rare. There are over 1.3 million attorneys in the USA. Only .1 percent disbarred.

No. He can appear in court as a lawyer. Be is the Chief Attorney for the United States.
He also manages lawyers at the Justice Department.
A non lawyer can’t supervise lawyers.

Interestingly enough, the Speaker of the House doesn’t even have to be a member of the House though.

Yes, but this is nonsense and this clown has not proven his point because he has not proven that President Trump has broken the rule of law. This is just another clown trick.

There is no position in the Federal Government that requires the occupant to be a licensed lawyer. The only position in the Constitution that requires a legal background is the Solicitor General.

In an interview with then Chief Justice Rhenquist, the interviewer mentioned that Justices and Judges were required to be licensed lawyers. CJ Rhenquist with words to the effect, “That’s not true. The only Constitution position that mentions legal training is the position of Solicitor, where it states the ‘Solicitor General must be learned in the law’, whatever that means.”
