Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te signed the Parliament Powers Amendment Act and immediately announced to file for constitutional interpretation and temporary disposal to safeguard constitutional order and protect people's rights. President Lai signed the Legislative Yuan's third reading of the 'Legislative Yuan Powers Act' and amendments to the 'Republic of China Criminal Code,' emphasizing the need for parliamentary reform to be legal and constitutional. The reform was criticized for attempting to change constitutional designs, causing doubts about expanding the powers of legislators. President Lai's decision aims to ensure the constitutionality and legitimacy of the legislation through the Constitutional Court. He stressed the importance of upholding constitutional order and urged respect and acceptance from all parties regardless of the constitutional interpretation's outcome.
