Makes a narrow change to the law on temporary (acting) United States attorneys so that a person appointed under the temporary-appointment statute may continue to serve until a Presidentially appointed United States attorney for that district "qualifies" (i.e., is appointed and meets the requirements to take office). This removes the prior subsections and replaces them with the single continuing-authority rule to prevent gaps in office leadership while awaiting a confirmed appointee.
