On June 11, 2024, President Lai Ching-te officially approved the reasons for reconsideration of the Parliament Powers Act, which was then sent to the Executive Yuan and subsequently requested by the Legislative Yuan for reconsideration. Premier Cho Rong-tai stated that they will face the reconsideration process properly and respect the decision of the Legislative Yuan regarding whether to provide explanation in the parliament, expressing the desire to clearly convey the government's position to legislators. The Prime Minister's office spokesperson noted the President's commitment to democracy and constitutional governance in approving the Executive Yuan's reconsideration of the law based on the power bestowed by the Constitution. This week is considered a prime time for the reconsideration battle, with President Lai planning to mobilize efforts to broaden communication and support for the reconsideration case, while both the ruling and opposition parties engage in public speaking events across Taiwan to sway public opinion on the matter, with various organizations also launching initiatives to pressure legislators. The ruling party asserts the reconsideration process reflects democracy and the will of the people, while the opposition criticizes it as an attempt to expand authority.
