Opposition confused about billsBy Chang Bao-yuan 張葆源The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) have worked in cahoots to try and force through legislative reform bills. The “state of the nation address” motion alone reveals that the proponents have lost all sense of constitutional awareness. The Legislative Yuan on Tuesday last week completed the second reading of Article 15-1 of the Act Governing the Legislative Yuan’s Power (立法院職權行使法). However, consider a scenario in which the president has already presented his speech to the Legislative Yuan, but must subsequently step down. Just how many speeches does the president need to deliver to satisfy the demands of the KMT and the TPP?
