Why It Matters
The Executive Yuan and the Legislative Yuan have recently been in serious conflict over power expansion bills and budget review issues. The Executive Yuan adopted the method of not countersigning the bill to prevent it from taking effect.
Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai attended the inauguration meeting of the southern district campaign headquarters of DPP Taoyuan mayoral candidate Huang Shijie in Zhongli tonight. He said that in order to block the power expansion bills passed by Blue and White, the government exhausted all methods. In the end, the Executive Yuan had no choice but to decide not to countersign these bills. , so that it has no way to infringe on the constitutional system and undermine the separation of powers. Although Congress continues to block the Executive Yuan with budget bills and even uses salary to block the President of the Executive Yuan, he reported to everyone that he will never give in under threats and will guard the door of the Constitution for the people.
Zhuo Rongtai said that two years ago, President Lai Qingde was successfully elected with everyone's support, but the DPP did not achieve very good results in the election of legislators. As a result, everyone has seen the current parliamentary ecology, which continues to undermine the constitutional order. Not long after President Lai took office, the Congress expanded the powers of the legislators and the Legislative Yuan exercised their powers in a legal way, which caused dissatisfaction among everyone in the country.
Zhuo Yongtai said that following the fiscal revenue and expenditure division law, the central financial situation was strongly dispersed by local governments; then, the personnel power of the justices and the supervisory committee were vetoed, which paralyzed the Constitutional Court and the responsibilities of the Supervisory Yuan. Not only the personnel consent rights, policies, and budgets proposed by the Executive Yuan were blocked, delayed, and destroyed one by one in this parliamentary ecosystem. This is the ecosystem of today's parliament.
Zhuo Rongtai said that if all the bills that are unconstitutional, illegal, and damaging to the national finance are passed one by one in the past two years, political parties will continue to interfere in the media, because the bills passed by Congress are to allow political parties to operate the media. Our past efforts to "withdraw the party, government, and military from the media" will be in vain.
Not only that, if we have no way to block the Legislative Yuan's exercise of powers, the legislative assistant fees will become the legislator's own expenses. No matter how he uses or abuses them for personal use, he will not be held responsible. In the past, organizations affiliated with political parties and institutions that were not party assets will continue to come back; many "money pit bills" will repeatedly erode the country's finances.
In order to block these bills, the Executive Yuan has used various methods, but has been unable to do anything. In the end, the Executive Yuan had no choice but to decide not to countersign these bills and make them ineffective, thus blocking these bills so that they would have no way to infringe on the constitutional system and undermine the separation of powers.
Although this kind of Congress continues to block the Executive Yuan with budget bills and even blocks the President of the Executive Yuan with salary, I report to everyone that we will not give in due to threats, and we will guard the door of the Constitution for the people.
