Note: A public official has authority to exercise the power of the government and does so as an agent and employee of the
government. For this reason, the Supreme Court has held that public officials are employees. A public official performs a governmental
duty exercised pursuant to a public law. A public office is a position created by law, holding a delegation of a portion of the sovereign
powers of government to be exercised for the benefit of the public.
Note: Elected officials are subject to a degree of control that typically makes them employees under the common law. Elected officials
are responsible to the public, which has the power not to reelect them. Elected officials may also be subject to recall by the public or a
superior official. In any event, elected officials are employees for income tax withholding purposes under Internal Revenue Code
Section 3401(c).
Examples of public officials include, but are not limited to, governor, mayor, county commissioner, judge, justice of the peace, sheriff,
constable, registrar of deeds, building and plumbing inspectors.
