Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The acts of an officer de facto are, as respects third persons, valid; as it respects himself invalid. An officer de facto is one who comes in by the forms of an election, but, in consequence of some . . . want of qualification, is incapable of holding the office. Until, therefore, the appointment is vacated, his acts must be considered as valid. [State v. Levy, 113 Vt. 374, 377 , 34 A.2d 370, 372 (1943)].”
