On June 24, 2024, President Tsai Ing-wen signed the Parliament's approved parliamentary reform legislation, but with concerns over constitutionality and will apply for constitutional interpretation and temporary disposal. This action was met with disappointment from the opposition. President Tsai is not the first to seek constitutional interpretation and add comments to legal cases, as former President Chen Shui-bian has done so during his term. The Presidential Office responded by stating that the President will apply for constitutional interpretation and temporary disposal while respecting the Parliament's decision. The legislation in question concerns the exercise of parliamentary powers and amendments to the Criminal Law of the Republic of China, sparking societal concerns over the review process and constitutional controversies.
