[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is a clerk. Her job is to give a marriage license to people who meet the legal requirements. She has no authority to Chang or ignore the legal requirements. She is only a clerk. [/quote] This is where I get confused. I agree with you. But then I wonder why the heck this is an elected position. Is this the norm?[/quote] There have traditionally been a lot of local functionary positions, county clerks, tax assessors, coroners, and so on that do not have discretionary authority that have been elected positions, especially in the South. I think the bias for elections vs. appointments was put in place generally to limit the patronage power of the mayors, county supervisors, and sheriffs, to try to keep these basic government functions out of the patronage system.
