In general all office holders (citizens all) may elect to convert their office from de facto to de jure by placing a bond on the reverse side of their subscribed oath. This act limits the liability of the office holder. De facto office holders rely upon the limits of the insurance policy provided by RISK MANAGEMENT. Practically all office holders you are likely to encounter are operating de facto. While their actions are valid their lack of oath and bond allows the following observation --- There are no public officers --- they don't exist.

If asked whether I am a U.S. citizen my reasoned response is "Not at the moment. I am eligible to occupy any vacant office but at the present time I am between offices of public trust. Of course at one time I did occupy such an office."
Do you have a source for your musings or do you just make it up as you go along, much like most of what calls itself govt in the U.S.?
