The President can't...Whitaker can not move to be the Permanent AG. He was allowed to hold this seat only with certain conditions...and that was one of them.

He's holding the seat for Barr.

Remember, the alternative was the rules of succession which means Rosenstein would have become AG.

‘Acting’ are frequently moved to the permanent job. They have to step aside from the ‘Acting’ job to be nominated.
