(b)(1) In any case in which a judge of the United States (other
than a senior judge) assumes the duties of a full-time office of
Federal judicial administration, the President shall appoint, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate, an additional judge
for the court on which such judge serves. If the judge who assumes
the duties of such full-time office leaves that office and resumes
the duties as an active judge of the court, then the President
shall not appoint a judge to fill the first vacancy which occurs
thereafter in that court.
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the term "office of Federal
judicial administration" means a position as Director of the
Federal Judicial Center, Director of the Administrative Office of
the United States Courts, or administrative assistant to the Chief
Justice.
