Who is the chief legal adviser to the president?

The Attorney General is the President's chief legal adviser. or vice president!!!! just choose one! Actually, the Attorney General is the official advisor to the President as to government-related legal issues. While the Attorney General is the advisor that may have the most direct connection to the President, the Office of the Attorney General consists of many lawyers in many speciality areas. While the Attorney General is him/herself the titular head of the office and administers it, he/she cannot have the specialized knowledge that is necessary to deal with the myriad issues that arise. For that reason, there exist many Assistant or Deputy attorneys general as well as staff attorneys in the office that handle specialized areas of the law. Similar structures exist in each State, where the Attorney General of the State serves as the chief legal advisor to the Governor.
