I don't think there's a Constitutional requirement for Fed officers to take an oath....I believe it was a custom established by Geo Washington.

I don't think omitting the requirement in the ND State Constitution would render it repugnant.

I watch what the pols do, not what they say. Talk is cheap, and few elected officials fear God.

Bill and Hill took the oath. What's it worth to them?

Please read fully and carefully my Reply 53 and certainly Reply 62.

This is the first time in the history of the United States that a state was admitted to the Union ERRONEOUSLY with an "unconstitutional" state constitution. There is no precedent in law for this current, blatant situation!

You better go back and read your U.S. Constitution, particularly Article VI, Clause 3 relating to the "oath of office."
