Reporter Hsu Yi-Wen, June 24, 2024, 1:35 AM. The parliamentary reform bill reconsideration failed in the Legislative Yuan, prompting the Executive Yuan to seek constitutional relief and President Lai Ching-te formally announcing the application for constitutional interpretation and provisional disposition to the Constitutional Court, emphasizing that while parliamentary reform is necessary, it should not involve arbitrary expansion of powers. Legal scholars suggest that unless the reform bill would cause irreversible harm, seeking provisional disposition should be avoided. President Lai Ching-te also announced plans to amend the Legislative Yuan Powers Exercise Act and the Criminal Code of the Republic of China, emphasizing the need to respect and accept the Constitutional Court's decision, while cautioning against constitutional crisis and the need for separation of powers under the constitution.
