biography

Oser graduated from high school in Lausanne . He then studied law at the University of Lausanne and the University of Bern . In 1928, a year after his doctorate , he entered the federal administration. He then worked as a secretary and translator in the Federal Chancellery and Council of States . In 1944 he was appointed Vice Chancellor by the Federal Council .

After the resignation of Federal Chancellor Oskar Leimgruber , the Federal Assembly elected Oser as his successor in 1951. He had been nominated by his party, the FDP , and prevailed against the Thurgau Chief Justice Thomas Plattner, the candidate of the Catholic Conservative People's Party .

Like Bovet before him, Oser also renounced a second Vice Chancellor and took responsibility for the French-language texts himself. The most important internal administrative project that the Federal Chancellery tackled under his leadership was the establishment of the Systematic Collection of Federal Law , which was completed in 1974 under Federal Chancellor Karl Huber and has been continuously updated since then. Upon reaching retirement age, Oser resigned in 1967.
