Answer

The North Carolina General Assembly, controlled by Republicans, convened a special session before Democratic Governor Roy Cooper took office in 2017. During this session, they swiftly passed a series of bills aimed at curbing the powers of the incoming governor. These bills reduced Cooper's control over state agencies, limited his appointment authority, and weakened his ability to issue executive orders.
