All?
Well, at least the heads of the departments, i think.

I've long thought that the difference between being appointed vs. Elected is the difference between serving and controlling a population.

It's an extreme position, and the control aspect rarely plays out as described,but the direct accountability to those served is significant, conceptually.

Somewhere in the middle is workable reailty, but the distinction is worth noting and recognizing.
