North Dakota historian John Rolcynski noticed it doesn't say the governor has to take an oath of office, as required by Article VI of the U.S. Constitution. A proposed amendment goes up for a vote next year. Meanwhile, Rolcynski's found another error he wants to fix to do with the state's eastern border.
