期中選舉慘敗仍忙美化白宮!川普出招保護橢圓形辦公室

Quick Look

美國總統川普5日簽署命令,將白宮橢圓形辦公室與內閣會議室指定為國家紀念區,防止未來總統對這些房間進行任何建築工程。此舉發生在民主黨贏得期中大選、控制參眾兩院控制權之後。

民主黨在美國期中大選取得大勝,以優勢贏得參議院與眾議院控制權。雖然共和黨在中選舉中遭遇慘敗,美國總統川普仍進一步展現他對美化白宮的高度關注。川普5日簽署1項命令,將白宮橢圓形辦公室與內閣會議室指定為國家紀念區(National Monument)。

根據《法新社》報導,在民主黨橫掃國會後,川普4日向外界展示白宮新宴會廳的施工進度,之後又進一步將焦點轉向白宮橢圓形辦公室與鄰近內閣會議室。川普表示,他5日簽署的命令,將讓任何人永遠都不可能「摧毀」這些房間,並防止未來的總統對它們進行任何建築工程。

川普告訴記者「這些地方將無法被拆除、摧毀、觸碰,或進行任何其他改動。實際上,這項措施稱為國家紀念區。」

川普在白宮橢圓形辦公室簽署這項命令的過程,並未透過美國主要電視新聞網播出,原因是他已禁止美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)的輪值媒體採訪團參與白宮活動,導致《CNN》無法按照輪值安排進入現場採訪及拍攝。

另外川普簽署命令的舉動也引發外界猜測,川普可能正準備進一步改造白宮西廂(West Wing)。此前川普多次暗示,可能將記者遷出位於白宮橢圓形辦公室附近的新聞簡報室。

Open Questions

  • 國家紀念區指定的具體法律效力與範圍如何?
  • 未來總統是否有法律途徑推翻此指定?
  • 川普是否確實計畫將記者遷出新聞簡報室?

Lai Ching-te accused the Legislative Yuan of blocking the budget and the "National Pension". The People's Party will arrange plans for this chamber: We are also in a hurry!

During his campaign in Nantou, President Lai Ching-te said that the National Pension Law should be improved long ago, and pointed out that the Legislative Yuan delayed the budget review, resulting in people not being able to receive the increased pension. The People's Party's Legislative Yuan caucus criticized this as "national-level false information," pointing out that the draft had only been sent to the committee and had not yet been read for the third time, and that the government had repeatedly expressed its opinions on the provisions and was the killer of the card annuity. Party caucus chief Chen Qinglong and legislator Qiu Huizhen emphasized that if the DPP is eager to amend the law, it should support placing the bill as the first bill in the chamber, and stop using "three obstructions" to find excuses to boycott the law. Qiu Huizhen also questioned Lai Qingde for forgetting the "principle of the rule of law" and pointed out that the Executive Yuan only sent the supplementary budget to the Legislative Yuan in September, and the government confused the two. The Popular Party Group also placed the "Gender Equality Work Act" on the agenda of the session, advocating that maternity leave be increased from the current 8 weeks to 14 weeks, the number of abortion leave days be doubled, and male paternity leave and paternity check-up leave be increased from 7 days to 14 days. It called on the Democratic Progressive Party Group to follow up and support and expeditiously review the above bills.

Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang publicly opposed the amendment, saying that it has serious flaws and violates the spirit of health care. He denied asking medical and social welfare groups to oppose it through messages, saying that it would be a serious dereliction of duty to remain silent.
