Obey (edited)

My question, in light of the KY county clerk and her recent incarceration for contempt of court is;

"Are elected officials expected, required, obligated, or bound to obey, abide by and enforce the laws as they currently exist whether they personally agree with them or not?"

It seems to me that it is reasonable to expect the people elected to office should either obey current law or step down.

EDIT

Now, this is one answer to the question.

" The answer to your question is, of course, yes, I expect elected officials to do their job, as a general rule. Unless and until their job causes them to do harm, then they should rightly not do their job."

While I am hoping for, and will edit this to reflect it, clarification it seems as though there is an assumption that "...do their job..." includes things like obeying, abiding by, and enforcing the laws of their jurisdiction whether they agree with them or not.   But, if one looks at the totality of the response, that isn't clear.    The notion of causing harm is interesting as well, as it seems as though it is possible to be faced with two competing "harms" and having to choose one or the other.   It also seems to equate the "harm" of inconvenience, with physical harm.   That notion seems problematic to me.    I'd love some more specific input.
