1. There are two general authorities for filling a U.S. Attorney vacancy and two avenues under each authority.
One authority is section 546 of Title 28. Section 546 authorizes the Attorney General to appoint an interim U.S. Attorney for a term of 120 days. Under section 546(d), once the 120-day term expires, the district court for such district may appoint a United States attorney to serve until the vacancy is filled.
An individual who has been validly appointed pursuant to section 546 holds the office of U.S. Attorney, even though only on an interim basis. That individual may properly be referred to as United States Attorney or interim United States Attorney, but it would be wrong to refer to that person as acting United States Attorney.
