Public offices can be filled in two ways. An elected official directly represents the people and is elected by the people. An appointed official is not directly elected by the people. Examples of elected officials include the President of the United States, members of Congress, the Texas state Governor, and your local School Board. Examples of appointed officials include the US President's cabinet, the Texas Secretary of State, the Texas State Board of Education, and your local police and animal control.

Final answer:

Elected and appointed officials play key roles in public offices. Calls for updating and reform should balance representation and expertise.


Explanation:

Elected officials are directly chosen by the people through voting, such as the President of the United States and members of Congress, while appointed officials are selected by higher-ranking officials, like the US President's cabinet members. The current system of filling public offices through elections and appointments serves to provide a balance of representation and expertise.

While there are calls for updating and reforming the methods of filling public offices to ensure accountability and efficiency, any changes must consider maintaining a system that represents the will of the people and ensures qualified individuals hold key positions.
