In General
All Emergency Interim Successors and Special Emergency Judges must take the same oath of office as the officers they are acting as. However, they do not need to fulfill any other prerequisite of office. All officials authorized to act as Governor, Emergency Interim Successors and Special Emergency Judges may exercise their powers only after the declaration of a state of emergency. The Oklahoma Legislature, by concurrent resolution, may, at any time, terminate the authority of any Emergency Interim Successor or Special Emergency Judges to exercise their powers and discharge their duties.
Any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under the Emergency Succession Act with respect to an office in the executive branch of the state government (except a dispute relative to the Office of Governor) is determined by the Governor and his decision is final. Any dispute with respect to the Office of Governor is be determined by the Supreme Court.

Famous quotes containing the word general:
“... women can never do efficient and general service in hospitals until their dress is prescribed by laws inexorable as those of the Medes and Persians. Then, that dress should be entirely destitute of steel, starch, whale-bone, flounces, and ornaments of all descriptions; should rest on the shoulders, have a skirt from the waist to the ankle, and a waist which leaves room for breathing.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. If he does not join the general scramble and pant with the money-making street, we deem him spiritless and lacking in ambition.”
—William James (1842–1910)
