The collapse of law begins with a 'technical strike' by the executive branch. From Chen Shui-bian refusing to sign death warrants while personally demonstrating the privilege of lecturing on 'medical parole,' to Tsai Ing-wen's institutional freeze and Lai Ching-te shifting blame to the Constitutional Court. Deconstructing how the DPP destroys judicial authority step by step.
This article severely criticizes Premier Cho Jung-tai and his cabinet for allegedly abusing the countersigning power granted to the Premier by the Constitution when handling bills such as the 'Act Governing the Allocation of Government Revenues and Expenditures' passed by the Legislative Yuan. The article points out that the countersigning power was originally intended to check presidential power, but now, under the DPP's rule, it has been reversed into a political tool to oppose the public will represented by the parliament, such as the rumored 'no countersigning, no promulgation' strategy. This behavior not only evades the constitutional obligation of the Executive Yuan to accept a resolution after a reconsideration fails but also manifests the encroachment of executive power upon judicial power (the exclusive authority of Grand Justices to interpret the Constitution) and systematic destruction of the separation of powers. This article concludes that to save the constitutional crisis and reshape trust in the separation of powers, Cho Jung-tai must resign.
