City Congress has passed the PILLARS Act, and the Governor has signed it. The Act puts the city’s executive in the hands of an Interim City Council while the population is small.
What changes
- The Office of the Governor is suspended. The Governor’s seat stays vacant while the Act is in force.1
- An Interim City Council takes its place. The Council is made up of the heads of the Departments of Defense, Criminal Investigations, Infrastructure, Commerce, and Agriculture.2
- The Council holds every executive power the Charter gives the Governor, as one body, and decides by vote among its members.3
- There is no election for Governor while the Act is in force, and no one may campaign for the office.4
When it applies
The Act takes effect on November 4, 2025, for up to five years. Congress can end it sooner or extend it, and it must consider repealing the Act if the city grows beyond ten people.5
The Governor’s farewell
In an address to the city the same day, Governor TCraft777 called the Act a “more reasonable application of executive power” while the population is at its smallest. The Governor said the executive will one day return to the Office of the Governor, and that the Governor’s staff will stay on to serve the Council.
Open to visitors
The Grandma Piglet Executive Office Building, the Oval Office, and the newly built Governor’s Manor are open to the public. Representatives of foreign governments may not visit them in an official capacity while the Act is in force.6
