The constitution only says that oaths are necessary for government offices, and citizenship is certainly not considered a government office, and language like:
Any citizen who has registered on the Regional Forums may run for and hold public office.
Backs this interpretation. At the same time, the constitution only requires that citizen applicants provide valid nations, and imposing extra requirements when no provision allowing for such a thing would be unconstitutional. The clause for citizens in the Oath Act, which says people must take these oaths, is therefore presently untenable. Rather than issuing a direct judicial remedy, I will give the Senate the choice of either amending the Oaths Act to remove the offending clause, or modifying the constitution to explicitly include citizens, before the next elections. If no action is taken, I will order the clause in the Oaths Act be stricken.
