Attorney general Grenell has a nice ring to it.
I think you have to be an attorney to be Attorney General.
We'll see if Grenell is planning to go back to school. He's a young guy. 🤣
Nope, no law degree required, and he's already Senate confirmed to step into the "acting" role.

There is no legal requirement that the AG be an attorney. They always have been, but anyone nominated and confirmed can serve in the role.
