of the United States, that district attorney is not deemed |
considered to have thereby resigned from or abandoned the |
office; nor is the district attorney removable from that office |
during military service, except that the term of office may not |
be held to have been lengthened because of this section. From |
the time of induction into service, the district attorney is |
regarded as on leave of absence without pay from the office and |
the Governor Attorney General shall appoint a competent |
attorney, a resident of the same prosecutorial district, to fill |
the office while the district attorney is in the federal |
service, but not for a longer period than the remaining portion |
of the district attorney's term. During the period of military |
or naval service, the Treasurer of State shall pay to the |
substitute attorney a salary at the same rate as the rate of pay |
of the district attorney and amounts so paid shall must be |
deducted from the salary of the district attorney. The attorney |
so appointed to fill the temporary vacancy has the title of |
"substitute district attorney" and possesses all the rights and |
powers and is subject to all the duties and obligations of the |
district attorney. |
