A deputy does not need to be appointed by what?

• A. Resolution
• B. Election
• C. Merit
• D. Court Appointment

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how a deputy gets appointed. Depending on the rules of the jurisdiction, a deputy can be chosen by election, by merit-based appointment, or by court appointment. A resolution, while it can authorize actions or establish a position, is not the actual method that places someone into the deputy role. In other words, the office isn’t created or filled simply by a resolution; the appointment is carried out through election, merit-based selection, or court appointment as permitted by law.
