Attorney General The United States Attorney General is the head of the United States Department of Justice concerned with legal affairs and is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States government. The Attorney General is considered to be the chief lawyer of the U.S. government. The Attorney General serves as a member of the President’s Cabinet, but is the only cabinet department head who is not given the title Secretary, besides the now defunct Postmaster General.

Agendas Bipartisanship In the past, there was a pretense that the business of government was to find the best solution to problems and implement the will of the people. If you still believe that, you are probably in favor of bispartisanship. Since compromise breeds cooperation, the Attorney General has an interest in supporting centrism. Law enforcement is everyone’s business, so the Attorney General supports political centrism, or at least its appearance.
