(1) By definition, if the law provides no remedy, there is no legal recourse; I meant the law mandating the requirement, not "all law".

It's possible that there's another law dealing with the execution of duties, similar to "honest services fraud".

I'm not saying that it exists, but I disagree that it's impossible by definition.

I do take your second point, though.

I was taking that as a case of the law providing a remedy for the offense in question, as part of some more general provision, so I think that our disagreement here is mostly just semantics rather than substance.
