They're always self-ratifying, specifically to prevent such platonic ambiguities from having annoying knock-on effects. In this case, of course, there was a claim of error which will prevent ratification. Ignore the act-on-behalf aspect. What if we discovered a year from now that Murphy was platonically not the Assessor after all? If purported resolutions weren't self-ratifying, we'd have to recalculate everything based on the idea that none of the proposals e claimed to resolve took effect.
