Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the person who is next confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as the Attorney General of the United States.

If multiple individuals are nominated, the market will resolve to the one who successfully receives the advice and consent of the Senate. If an individual serves as "Acting" Attorney General but is not subsequently confirmed by the Senate, they will not cause the market to resolve in their favor. The official confirmation can be verified via the United States Senate website or the Department of Justice official announcements.

Background

The Attorney General is the head of the United States Department of Justice and serves as the chief law enforcement officer of the federal government. Under Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, the position is filled by presidential nomination followed by confirmation by a majority vote of the United States Senate.

As of April 2, 2026, Todd Blanche is serving as the Acting Attorney General. The previous confirmed Attorney General was Pam Bondi, who assumed office in February 2025. Because the position is a cabinet-level appointment that typically changes with presidential administrations or upon the resignation/removal of the incumbent, this market focuses on the next individual to hold the office through the formal Senate confirmation process.
