Specifically, the authority was first vested with the circuit courts in March 1863. </p><p>Then, in 1898, a House of Representatives report explained that while Congress believed it was important to have the courts appoint an interim U.S. attorney: </p><p>"There was a problem relying on circuit courts since the circuit justice is not always to be found in the circuit and time is wasted in ascertaining his whereabouts." </p><p>Therefore, at that time, the interim appointment authority was switched to the district courts; that is, in 1898 it was switched to the district courts. </p><p>Thus, for almost 100 years, the district courts were in charge of appointing interim U.S. attorneys, and they did so with virtually no problems. This structure was left undisturbed until 1986 when the statute was changed during the Reagan administration. In a bill that was introduced by Senator Strom Thurmond, the statute was changed to give the appointment authority to the Attorney General, but even then it was restricted and the Attorney General had a 120-day time limit. After that time, if a nominee was not confirmed, the district courts would appoint an interim U.S. attorney. The adoption of this language was part of a larger package that was billed as technical amendments to criminal law, and thus there was no recorded debate in either the House or the Senate and both Chambers passed the bill by voice vote. </p><p> Then, 20 years later, in March 2006 – again without much debate and again as a part of a larger package – a statutory change was inserted into the PATRIOT Act reauthorization. This time, the Executive's power was expanded even further, giving the Attorney General the authority to appoint an interim replacement indefinitely and without Senate confirmation.</p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Role_of_U.S._attorneys">Role of U.S. attorneys</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_States_Attorney&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Role of U.S. attorneys"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The U.S. attorney is both the primary representative and the administrative head of the <i>Office of the U.S. Attorney</i> for the district.
