McCarthy is correct on the statute. The issue here is the constitutionality of that provision in the statute.

A plain reading of the U.S. Constitution tells me that the statute on that particular point is flat-out unconstitutional.

“A plain reading of the U.S. Constitution tells me that the statute on that particular point is flat-out unconstitutional.”

If Trump made him “Attorney General,” you would be correct. But “Acting Attorney General” is NOT “Attorney General.” Not legally. He is temporarily assuming most (but not all!) powers (such as, signing FISA warrents. No can do).

Perfectly legal. And....done deal!
