The KMT and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) caucuses on Friday last week proposed impeaching Lai. Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus secretary-general Lo Chih-chiang is pictured in an undated photograph. The provision allowing the Legislative Yuan to request the impeached person attend a hearing was passed when Lai was a legislator, not by the current legislature, Huang said. “I do not know if Lai would claim the provision is unconstitutional and that the Legislative Yuan has no authority to invite him,” Huang said. The KMT and TPP have acted with impunity since gaining the legislative majority last year, Chung said.
