Kreisel and Boolos demonstrated that second-order consequence is not axiomatizable, meaning 'derivation from axioms' in second-order logic is inherently incomplete relative to standard semantics.

Standard semantics(as a way of interpreting logical systems)
The most straightforward interpretation of what logical statements mean in terms of the real world—basically, the 'normal' way of understanding truth.
axiomatizable(first-order logic (FO))
A logic is axiomatizable when there is a mechanical way of generating precisely those sentences that are valid (true in all models); equivalently, the set of valid sentences is recursively enumerable
axioms(Stumpf, 1891)
Propositions that we assume to be true and necessary, originating in the content of judgments.
consequence(Buridan's medieval logic)
A logical relation with necessary truth-preservation (TP) as its fundamental component
