Among the things you will learn is that One Statute Fifty, which is the Northwest Ordinance as codified, gives the President the authority to appoint Governors and Judges in the territories. When a State is without a Republican form of government or no government at all it is treated as a territory. Under Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution the President has a duty to insure a Republican form of government for the people of each State. The President may therefore appoint a Governor and Judge for that State.
Since there would likely be no state legislature in place, the new Governor would, according to Article 1 Section 3 Clause 2 of the National Constitution, be able to temporarily appoint two Senators. Further, the Governor would be directed by the National Constitution, Article 1 Section 2 Clause 4, to issue a writ of election to provide representation to the House of Representatives. This process fulfills the minimum requirement for a Republican form of government in your state.
However, the individual state constitutions may require a secretary to keep records. This responsibility falls on the Governor until that position is filled. The Governor will lead your free state in building the state legislature and filling other state offices in accordance with your state constitution. Once the majority of the American People re-inhabit their Republic, general elections for all vacant Offices and Seats will be held.
