Description
10 This provision unmistakably refers to the constitutional oath in Art. XV, ? 1. It targets solely the failure to take that oath. Although Art. XV, ? 1, permits the Legislature to prescribe other oaths or affirmations, we cannot infer from the constitutions forfeiture clause that failure to take some statutory oath would similarly result in forfeiture of office. We hence hold that, even if we were to conclude today that the text of the ? 2 (51 O.S.) oath does remain viable as a legislatively transformed mandatory supplemental oath, Art. XV, ? 2 targets solely an officials failure to take the constitutional oath.
