It’s a valid legal argument, but the bigger question is whether the Federal Vacancies Act is constitutional as it applies to “principal officers” of the Executive Branch under the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Think that Acting AG Whitaker as a former US Attorney who was approved in that role can continue to act as he has in the capacity as Chief of Staff AG and Acting AG.
There’s a time limit to his acting role but IMHO, there’s not a chance he is bumped off in court for holding this role. It just won’t stick no matter how the Rats cry.
Soon they will have plenty to cry about.
