District of Columbia Attorney General Appointment Reform Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would change how the Attorney General for Washington, D.C. is chosen. Instead of D.C. voters electing the Attorney General, the President would appoint this person. The Attorney General would serve for the same amount of time as the President, and the Senate would not need to approve this appointment. The current Attorney General's job would end as soon as this bill becomes law.
