Tim - Re"I would be curious, and will probably do some research, to find out just under which provisions of the Constitution public officials are exempted from some taxes in this way." It is not the Constitution that provides the exemption, it would be a provision of the Tax Code. Congress passed this to take care of themselves and there buddies during the round trip paths between political office and industry. I was not aware of this exemption but it is no surprise to me that Congress puts special "favors" in the Tax Code.
