During his second term, the cities of Starfell, Jasper, and Russleville announced laws that prohibited those not originally born in their cities from holding any municipal offices. It was aimed at keeping Sillian immigrants from hodling office. The Chancellor declared these laws illegal and most cities repealed them. However, mayor of Jasper, Donald Ghetts, refused to repeal the law. As a result, the Chancellor removed the mayor and 2/3rds of the Jasper city council from office. Also in his second term he helped King William III sign a mutual defense pact with the nation of Silla. This outraged many common citizens.
