The document says “shouldWho acts: PresidentHow: appointmentp. 28 in the PDF
What the document says

“the best one will be above all loyal to the President and the Constitution”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 28

The chapter says the President should choose a Counsel well versed in the Constitution, administrative and regulatory law and the workings of Congress, should prefer broad experience to a specialism, and that although a candidate with elite credentials might seem ideal, the best candidate will above all be loyal to the President and the Constitution.

What the document actually says

“the best one will be above all loyal to the President and the Constitution”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 28
That sentence, in plain words

The best person will be loyal above all. That means loyal to the president and to the Constitution.

What this is about

The president picks his own top lawyer. The chapter says a famous name or a top school is not the main thing. It says the most important thing is that the lawyer is loyal.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
