The Nationalist Party (KMT) and People's Party legislative caucuses in Taiwan recently urged for the abolition of the Examination Yuan and Control Yuan, with support from 29 Green Party legislators. This political move sparked widespread discussion, with different viewpoints from political figures and experts. While Control Yuan President Chen Chu expressed her continuous support for the separation of powers and respect for the legislative decision, she highlighted the high threshold for amending the constitution. Scholars like Zhang Jiaxiang cautioned against hasty abolition, emphasizing the historical and constitutional significance of these institutions and the need for public debate and support. Public opinion reflects this division, with around 45% supporting constitutional amendments to abolish or restructure the two bodies, indicating Taiwan's society's diverse views on the issue, which will undoubtedly lead to intense future discussions.
