Elizabeth Barchas Prelogar (born March 7, 1980; née Elizabeth Margaret Barchas[3]) is an American lawyer who has served as solicitor general of the United States since October 2021. Prior to this, she served as acting solicitor general from January 20, 2021,[4] at the start of the Biden administration, until President Joe Biden sent her nomination to the U.S. Senate on August 11, 2021.[5] She was prevented from serving while the nomination was before the Senate as a result of the terms of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998.[6]
