Whose Attorney General?

OK, the Attorney General is appointed by the President.

What is he the Attorney of?

Is he the Presidents Attorney?

Is he an Attorney for the citizens, to fight in the interests of the general public?

Who is his client, if one could be named?

Was, now it's more of a visionary position while other lawyers do the actual lawyering.

Pretty much. It's a side effect of having a worthless and unnecessary job: no matter how well you do it, you're still worthless. 90% of presidential appointees fall into that category.

I was just wondering...because I mean, it's pretty obvious that the wiretapping thing was a stretch for the administration...and I am watching the AG defend it so adamently and it made me wonder, if his purpose was to defend what the administration does....

And then I was wondering why we paid for that.

Does the President have his own lawyer? Who is the President's lawyer?
