WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced legislation today to restore the President’s right to appoint acting United States Attorneys, a power usurped by Democrats and handed to judges under arbitrary time limits, creating conflicts of interest and power imbalances within courts. U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) cosponsored the legislation.
