John Cornyn after students protested.
Gowdy and Cornyn have law enforcement credentials. The 65 year-old, former Texas attorney general and state supreme court justice, has served in the Senate since 2002. Gowdy worked as a federal prosecutor from 1994 to 2000 in SC and served as a district attorney before entering Congress in 2011.

Former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers and former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly are also on the president's list as potential replacements to Comey.
