An Executive Committee was the title of a three-person committee which served as the
executive Branch of the
Provisional Government of Oregon in the disputed
Oregon Country. This arrangement was announced on July 5, 1843, after three months of study by the
Provisional Legislature at
Champoeg.
Powers
The executive committee was empowered to grant reprieves and pardons, recommend legislation, and call out the militia.
