The United States Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer for the federal government and, as the head of the Justice Department, considered to be part of a President's Cabinet. The US Attorney general is nominated by the President, but then confirmed by the US Senate. There is no set term of office; the US Attorney general serves at the pleasure of the President.

So, up to 8 years (2 Presidental terms), unless they are nominated by more than one President.
