Since William Barr has become a complete lapdog for Trump, should the position of AG become more independent from the prez? If so, what would be your suggestions? Another appointment mode? A fixed term without allowing the prez to fire him? Or only with senate approval? I think it would be interesting if the Supreme Court would appoint the AG for a fixed term, with 7 votes needed there.

Yeah, I've been a proponent for a while of separate elections for Attorney General, the way most states do it.

Via PV or EC?

I have reservations about a national election because that politicizes an office that should actually be non-partisan. If an election, it should be non-partisan as local elections in CA.
