Legislative President Han Kuo-yu accused President Lai Ching-te of political mystique and his inability to resolve the opposition between the legislative and executive bodies at the National Day Convention, and questioned Executive President Toh Wing-tai's failure to countersign the legislation passed by the Legislative Council. Executive Yuan spokesperson Li Huizhi responded by emphasizing that the executive and the legislative are both constitutional organs and should respect the constitutional powers and jointly maintain the constitutional order. No party should cross the boundaries of the constitution or stigmatize the constitutional mechanism for political offense and defense. She further explained that among the eight laws that the Executive Yuan did not countersign in the past, three cases were to prevent the party, government and military from intervening in the media. The contents of two cases were unconstitutional, two cases infringed on the budget power of the Executive Yuan and violated the separation of powers, and one case was an attempt to exonerate criminals by fraudulently claiming assistant fees, which may cause loopholes in the criminal law. As the guardian of the Constitution, the Executive Yuan must be passively defensive to maintain constitutional order.
