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. |
