![]() ![]() What is political courage? How do I know if an elected official has demonstrated political courage?. ![]() ![]() Appointed officials are not elected by the people of the United States and therefore are not eligible subjects for your essay. The President appoints the 14 Secretaries from the executive department, who must then be confirmed by a majority vote (51 votes) of the Senate. Supreme Court Justices and the Attorney General of the Unites States are examples of appointed officials, as are the 14 Secretaries that make up the President's Cabinet. The whole concept of political courage revolves around an understanding of the risks and pressures that elected officials face and the difficult choices that politics often present: choices between conscience and public sentiment, between moral principles and electoral success. Representatives and Senators at the state and national level, mayors, and city council members are some examples of elected officials. The contest requires that the subject of your essay be about an official who is publicly elected by the people of the United States. What do you mean by an "elected official"? What is the difference between an official who is elected and one who is appointed?. ![]()
