Officers are not elected - they are appointed. That is the difference.
An Officer works for the state. They can be accused of insurrection if they act against that state, or are plotting against their president or whatever.
An elected offiicial, such as the president, is SUPPOSED to work for the people. In theory, the people voted for him. So, such a person cannot be accused of insurrection, because his office represents the will of the people. It's a logical impossibility to then say such a person is conducting an insurrection. How dare he represent the people? It raises Q -uestions. Like: who is accusing 'insurrection'? Why? Whose butt are they covering?
