Whomever the replacement and there is a suggestion that Bush might just name Paul Clements, the current Solicitor General, as "acting" AG and try to stretch it out for the remainder of his term, which does not require Senate confirmation.
In any case, the real test will come next month if Congress proceeds with contempt charges against the WH over the executive privilege claims. In order for that to be ejudicated, the DoJ is required to have the US Attorney for DC take the case to the DC Circuit Court.
It could be that Gonzales resigned rather than be forced to take that action or face impeachment for not taking that action.
