R.S. § 1757.
May 13, 1884, ch. 46, §§ 2, 3, 23
Stat. 22.
All but the quoted language in R.S. § 1757 is omitted
as obsolete since R.S. § 1757 was originally an alter-
native oath to the oath prescribed in R.S. § 1756 which
oath was repealed by the Act of May 13, 1884, ch. 46, § 2,
23 Stat. 22. The words ‘‘An individual, except the Presi-
dent, . . . in the civil service or uniformed services’’ are
substituted for ‘‘any person . . . either in the civil, mili-
tary, or naval service, except the President of the
United States’’. The second sentence of former section
16 is changed to read, ‘‘This section does not affect
other oaths required by law.’’.
Standard changes are made to conform with the defi-
nitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined
in the preface to the report.
§ 3332. Officer affidavit; no consideration paid

paid any consideration for or in the expectation
or hope of receiving assistance in securing the
appointment.
