TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
§ 542
At present, such officers are invariably designated as
‘‘United States attorneys’’ by Federal courts and the
Department of Justice.
Words ‘‘The President may appoint, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate,’’ were inserted to
conform section with the Constitution. See article II,
section 2, clause 2.
Words ‘‘including the District of Columbia’’ were
omitted, because the District is made a judicial district
by section 88 of this title. District of Columbia Code,
1940 ed., § 11–1001, provided for appointment of an ‘‘at-
torney of the United States for the District’’ by the
President, subject to Senate confirmation.
Words ‘‘learned in the law’’ were omitted as unneces-
sary. Such requirement is not made of United States
judges and no reason appears to make a distinction re-
specting United States attorneys.
Parts of section 863 of title 48, U.S.C., 1940 ed., remain
in said title 48. For remainder thereof, see Distribution
Table. Other provisions of section 643 of such title are
incorporated in sections 133, 504 [now 541 and 544], and
541 [see 561] of this title.
Changes were made in phraseology.
[The Historical and Revision Notes for former section
504, from which this section is partially derived, is set
out under section 544 of this title.]
