POWERFUL EDUCATIONAL MEMORANDUM
(For Instructional and Scholarly Use Only)
SUBJECT:
Clarification of Facial Irregularities in Public Oath Records, Constitutional Structure,
and Statutory Duties of Public Servants Under A.R.S. Title 38 and Related Principles.
PURPOSE:
This memorandum is written in an instructional capacity only. Its purpose is to clearly identify,
with precision and without ambiguity, the factual anomalies that appear on hypothetical public-record
oath documents, so that no reader may reasonably assert confusion as to what is being referenced.
This document does not accuse, imply misconduct, or assert wrongdoing. It merely catalogues the
observed facts for study.
--------------------------------------------
I. FIRST PRINCIPLE: PUBLIC POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE
--------------------------------------------
Arizona Constitution, Article 2, Section 2:
“All political power is inherent in the people.”
Public servants, including judges, clerks, and administrators, hold delegated authority only.
When the People encounter inconsistencies in public records, inquiry is not only permitted—it is
expected.
--------------------------------------------
II. SECOND PRINCIPLE: NO EXCUSE BY OMISSION OR COMMISSION
--------------------------------------------
In constitutional scholarship, the maxim is well known:
“Every inclusion is an exclusion; every exclusion is an inclusion.”
Meaning:

 What appears on a public oath is intentional unless clarified otherwise.
 What does NOT appear must also be explained, because omission can alter meaning.
Ambiguity is the sworn enemy of constitutional trust.
--------------------------------------------
III. OBSERVED VENUE IRREGULARITY (PIMA / PIMO)
--------------------------------------------
Hypothetical oath documents display:
 Printed venue: “Pima County”
 Notary stamp: “PIMA COUNTY”
 Handwritten venue: “Pimo”
Venue is a jurisdictional foundation.
A single instrument containing multiple venue designations requires clarification.
--------------------------------------------
IV. TEMPORAL INCONSISTENCY (DATES)
--------------------------------------------
A hypothetical document shows:
 Officer signature dated one day
 Jurat (notary oath date) several days later
Traditional oath doctrine requires contemporaneous “subscribing and swearing.”
Under A.R.S. § 38-231(C), the oath must be sworn before the officer administering it.
If signing and swearing occur on different dates, clarification is academically appropriate.
--------------------------------------------
V. IDENTITY CLARITY UNDER A.R.S. § 38-231(A)
--------------------------------------------

The hypothetical records show varying name formats:
 Full name
 Middle initial
 No middle name
Identity precision is required for a constitutional oath.
The public must know the exact person who:
1. was appointed,
2. took the oath,
3. and exercises authority.
--------------------------------------------
VI. MISSING APPOINTING INSTRUMENT UNDER A.R.S. § 38-233(A)
--------------------------------------------
Statute requires the oath to be filed “together with” the commission or certificate of election.
If the commission is not present in the packet provided, scholars note that the chain of constitutional
authority
requires visibility for verification.
--------------------------------------------
VII. DUTY OF TRANSPARENCY UNDER JUDICIAL CANONS
--------------------------------------------
Canon 1 — Integrity of the judiciary
Canon 2(A) — Avoiding appearance of impropriety
Canon 3(B)(1) — Compliance with law
Canon 3(B)(2) — Accurate records
Where inconsistencies appear, transparency requires clear administrative explanation.
--------------------------------------------

VIII. THE MEMORANDUM'S CENTRAL POINT
--------------------------------------------
This educational memorandum identifies simple, factual, observable items.
These items fall into five categories:
1. Venue discrepancy
2. Temporal discrepancy
3. Identity discrepancy
4. Missing required statutory attachment
5. Lack of contemporaneous swearing/subscribing
Each of these items is either:
 explained, or
 unexplained.
That is the entire inquiry.
No accusation. No controversy.
Only clarity.
--------------------------------------------
