In the legislative meeting, both the ruling and opposition parties are mobilizing to handle the parliamentary reform law 'reconsideration case' sent by the Executive Yuan, with the green camp condemning that the reform law granting the legislature investigation and hearing rights is undemocratic and a power expansion. However, critics argue that the United States has long recognized the importance of congressional hearing investigation rights, as seen in various movies like 'All the President's Men' and 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.' This sheds light on the ongoing debate in Taiwan over the significance of parliamentary hearing rights and their role in a democratic system.
