But isn't "attorney general" together describing one subject, of which there are two (attorney general x 2 = 2 attorney generals)? This would be a good trick question on the ole grammar quiz.
Okay, I'll take a shot at this. I think it is attorneys general because the attorneys function in some general form. Could be wrong, but that makes sense to me
