The President has been a Co-Conspirator in illegal actions by the Last A.G..
The office of the A.G. must be responsible for the investigations into those violations of the law... so, the President must recuse himself from being involved in the next A.G. selection process.
The logical alternative person to make the nominations is the Speaker of the House.
If this were an issue about one of George Bush's Major Stock Ownership Oil Companies being under investigation, no one would question for a second that Dubya, while normally allowed to nominate the A.G. would have to fore go that option, because of the conflict of interest.
Well, the next A.G. will be investigating the President, so President Obama should not be allowed to be part of the process.
This has many, many, many presidents in America Law.
