To me, it's one of the issues of electing officials to positions that don't have legislative authority. If you aren't voting on bills or you don't have the final approval/veto authority, then you shouldn't be elected. You should either be hired or appointed. Those jobs are all about carrying out policy enacted by those with policy making authority, not making policy, and so should be based upon the capabilities to do the job and nothing else. If you fail to carry out the job, you should be fired.
This is a problem I have with sheriffs, elected judges, you name it.
