I think the AG should be an elected position too....to a single 6 term. That way it doesn’t coincide with the presidential elections (so a liberal AG don’t get on the same ticket with the presidential candidate) and it overlaps administrations.
I’m happy with our elected AG in Michigan. He’s the same party (GOP) as the governor but is a solid constitutionalist.
He’s representing the unions in the Detroit Bankruptcy fight not because any of us like it but because the state constitution requires it.
Better an AG who strictly adheres to the constitution than one who serves as personal prosecutor or defense attorney of the president.
