      Berman is the Acting U.S. Attorney by dint of a *judicial* appointment. There’s a pretty good argument that, per the plain language of 28 U.S.C. § 546(d), he gets to keep serving in that post until the *vacancy* is filled (through Senate confirmation of a permanent successor).pic.twitter.com/xeRpvMRHWN

      Of course, the Trump DOJ may argue that § 546(d) is unconstitutional insofar as it prevents the President from removing Berman, but that’s complicated here by Berman being an *Acting* U,S. Attorney—over whose appointment and removal Congress can arguably exercise *more* control.

      As @marty_lederman points out, there’s a 1979 OLC opinion concluding that the President—but *not* the Attorney General—can fire a U.S. Attorney appointed under § 546(d): https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/1979/11/31/op-olc-v003-p0448_0.pdf … OLC isn’t a court, of course—and even in its view, Barr couldn’t fire Berman.

          The First Circuit has noted that the *President* can remove a U.S. Attorney appointed under 546(d)—although the issue was not squarely presented there: https://casetext.com/case/us-v-hilario … So there’s a debate over whether the President can fire Berman, but seeming consensus that Barr can’t.

          Finally, I take the point that Berman technically isn't an *acting* U.S. Attorney, and is instead *the* U.S. Attorney under 546. That doesn't change the constitutional analysis (he's still an inferior officer). The statutory question reduces to whether 546(d) overrides 541(c).

          To recap: 1) Berman was appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546(d). 2) That statute contemplates that he keeps his job until a permanent successor is confirmed by the Senate. 3) 28 U.S.C. § 541(c) says U.S. Attorneys are subject to removal by the President. So the statutes conflict. pic.twitter.com/ZpmO2k3Z0l

          Hey, but if he’s doing it so that it helps his re-election, which is in the public interest, then it’s fine. The Dersh argument
