Will Alberto Gonzales end the week as he begins it, as U.S. Attorney General? That's the question of the week in Washington.

For the past two months the Attorney General has refused to resign. But a Senate vote set for this week may push Alberto Gonzales out the door.

"You already have six Republicans calling for his resignation. I have a sense, Bob, that before the vote is taken, that Attorney General Gonzales may step down," Senator Arlen Specter, a republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Gonzales began facing pressure to leave his post in the wake of criticism over the Justice Department's firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

"His credibility is shot. Any faith that he can manage or run the department is gone," commented Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY).

Senate Democrats have announced their intention to hold a no-confidence vote against Gonzales. The White House criticized the symbolic exercise and said it won't affect the Attorney General. Senator Lindsey Graham said his colleagues have lost focus.

On "FOX News Sunday" Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, "If the president wants to keep him in his job, I will work with him. The Congress is at 29 percent. The Congress is at 29 percent because we're playing all of these "gotcha" games."

But Gonzales standing with Congress was further eroded last week, when a former deputy Attorney General testified that as White House counsel Gonzales pressured then Attorney General John Ashcroft to authorize the President's controversial eavesdropping program while Ashcroft was in the hospital.

A Justice Department spokesman says Gonzales is concentrating on saving his job. The Attorney General is in town Monday, but heads for a conference in Europe Tuesday.
