Pres. Bush Commends Gonzales on Confirmation Successes

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced his resignation effective September 17th. Following the announcement, President Bush commended his close friend for his services, and noted Gonzales's influence in securing the confirmations of Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito.

"As Attorney General he played an important role in helping to confirm two fine jurists in Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. He did an outstanding job as White House Counsel, identifying and recommending the best nominees to fill critically important federal court vacancies."

President Bush appointed Paul Clement, current Solicitor General, as the acting Attorney General until a replacement can be nominated and confirmed by the Senate.
