These persons shall qualify for office by:
(1) Taking the oath and giving bond, where required, within sixty days after returning to the continental limits of the United States; or
(2) Executing their oath and bond in any part or possession of the United States, or any foreign country.
In any case the oath and bond may be signed and executed before any commissioned officer of the military service of the United States, with the same force and effect as if before a notary public within this state.
