The continuum Yang-Mills functional integral within the first order formalism and in Coulomb gauge is studied. In particular, the temporal zero modes of the Faddeev-Popov operator are explicitly accounted for. It is shown that the treatment of these zero modes results in the constraint that the total color charge of the system vanishes at all times. Further, it is argued that the functional integral is effectively fully gauge fixed once Gauss' law has been resolved in Coulomb gauge.
