Election and terms of office

As with the other two cabinet posts and the office of lieutenant governor, there is a limit of two four-year terms for the Attorney General. The Governor of Florida is restricted to two consecutive terms, with no lifetime limit on the number of terms he or she may serve.

The Attorney General appoints the Florida Solicitor General who serves at his or her pleasure. The current solicitor is Amit Agarwal.

In the event that the offices of the governor of Florida and lieutenant governor of Florida are vacated, the attorney general then becomes governor.

Removal from office

The Florida Attorney General can be impeached for committing a "misdemeanor in office" by the State Legislature, and convicted and thereby removed from office by a two-thirds vote of the State Senate.
