Esteemed Justices of the Supreme Court,
In light of the constitutional provisions outlined in Article 8, clauses 8 and 9 of the Astorian Constitution, which mandate that all government officials take a solemn oath before assuming office:
I respectfully present the following inquiries to the esteemed Supreme Court:
Considering the stipulations of the Astoria constitution, particularly the comprehensive oath outlined in Article 8, clauses 8 and 9, I seek elucidation on the temporal binding nature of a government official's sworn oath. Could the Supreme Court clarify the duration of the oath's validity? Moreover, does the constitution of Astoria necessitate government officials to renew their oath at the commencement of each term, regardless of having previously taken the solemn affirmation?
I express gratitude to the Supreme Court for considering these queries.
