Who will replace sessions

With the exit of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, most speculation about who the Trump administration will pick to replace him will focus on the Mueller investigation. But also, Sessions left a policy legacy of hard-edged conservatism, which warrants its own scrutiny.The Senate Judiciary Committee awaits for the nominee. Earlier this year, the public became familiar with the Committee during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing. The Democrats vigorously grilled the Supreme Court nominee while Chairman Grassley of Iowa kept the procedural leash in hand. This dynamic promises a grueling welcome for the nominee in terms of questioning where they stand on issues, even if there is ultimately a vote of confirmation.There are three large “procedural” Mueller questions for the eventual nominee – not about whether Trump is a crook or other substance, but how the process will go forward. Unlike Sessions, the new nominee will presumably not be recused from a normal role as to the Russia investigation. So the first question is whether he will terminate Mueller. On the one hand, it is entirely possible that President Trump will pick his nominee based on what Trump expects about this. On the other hand, an Attorney General will not want his place in history to consist of only his axing of a nationally-admired Special Counsel. No doubt, this will be Ground Zero for Senate Democrats demanding pledges from the nominee.A second Mueller-related question is whether the nominee will spare Mueller for now, but seek to fence him in with restrictions. Mueller might tolerate this if he can do so without dishonor. For example, a new Attorney General might tell Mueller that he can assemble evidence and a narrative for his report, but not reach conclusions on impeachment or other charges against Trump. This would bear something of a resemblance to what the

The Vacancies Reform Act "would allow him to shop around for someone who is more sympathetic to his views."There is another wrinkle: While Trump can make an interim appointment if Sessions resigns, it is less clear he can do so if Sessions is fired.Steve Vladeck, a professor of law at the University of Texas at Austin, said: "It's not that common for a Cabinet official to stand up to his president on principle and force him to fire him. And it's especially problematic in the case of the attorney general, because the attorney general is alone among Cabinet officers in possessing a rather independent constitutional role as the nation's chief law-enforcement officer."Courts have not weighed in on the question, but the Trump White House could explore the option, and it would have an argument to make."You can make the argument that someone who's been fired is unable to perform the duties of the office," Yeomans said. "The other argument, of course, is that there have to be some extraneous reasons why the person is unable to perform the duties of the office."Under the circumstances, Vladeck said, "The only leverage that Attorney General Sessions has is to not resign, and to force President Trump to actually take the dramatic step of firing him."FILE - Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., speaks with reporters at the Capitol in Washington, March, 14, 2017. Schumer has vowed to fight a recess appointment, should the situation arise.Option 3Finally, there is the option to make a recess appointment. Recess appointments, made while the Senate is in recess for at least 10 days, can last through the current session of Congress, which ends in January 2019.In recent days, Trump has reportedly floated the idea among his advisers. However, Republicans and Democrats have agreed to have pro forma sessions during the August break, so the Senate technically will remain in session. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has said "Democrats will never go along with the recess appointment if that situation arises.""We have some tools in our toolbox to stymie such action," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "We'll be ready to use every single one of them, any time, day or night."Senator John Kennedy, a Republican member of the Judiciary panel, urged Trump not to replace Sessions, saying it "will be very, very difficult" to confirm a new attorney general.Trump-Sessions split may be easing"I hope he and the
