Well, don't know what happened to my post, but I'll try again.
To my knowledge, all US Attorney's are required to submit their resignations whenever a new administration comes in.
Obama kept on most of the US Attorney's for convenience in the beginning, but also allegedly because later the GOP
wasn't approving any of his nominees. The article mentions 46 -- presumably over the 8 years he was able
to get some of his picks approved. Overall, believe there are 100 AG's.
Will check this and supply links.
