Executive Committee (Oregon Country)

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.

The executive committee was empowered to grant reprieves and pardons, recommend legislation, and call out the militia.
