The Attorney General

The attorney general is responsible for preserving the legislation that is enacted by Congress and acts as the figurehead of the Department of Justice. Part of this responsibility includes aiding the prosecution in cases brought forth by the Department of Justice and defending the government in court cases in which the department is not the prosecuting party. A single term for an attorney general is six years, the longest of any elected office.

The office of the attorney general has been vacant since year 1.
