North Carolina Lt. Gov. Roy Cooper that he intends to sue him over his executive orders issued during the coronavirus pandemic. "The Emergency Management Act requires that you seek and receive concurrence from the Council of State prior to exercising the most expansive statewide emergency powers of the Governor," Forest wrote. Cooper has not consulted with the council before issuing a slew of executive orders since then, Forest said. In the letter, Forest said Cooper made it "impossible" for him and the council to "fulfill our oaths to uphold the laws of North Carolina."
