    Can someone explain the political intricacies of such an oath? What would it have meant if it was passed?

      Well, anyone who who swore such an oath and then failed to support the eventual nominee would be shown to be a lying sack of shit. Since it would only apply to Republican presidential candidates, it would basically be redundant.
