Officials of the Democratic Progressive Party have great official authority when making inquiries, and those with serious KMT proposals can be dismissed

Hand-to-hand and verbal warfare between the "legislators" of Taiwan's legislature has become the norm. There have been occasional bickerings between officials and "legislators" in the past. Occurrences are becoming more and more frequent. Su Tseng-chang, head of the administrative agency of the Taiwan authorities, slapped the table with Lai Shibao and Jiang Wan'an of the "Blue Committee" several times, and even counter-questioned "opposition legislators". The Kuomintang counteracted this proposal, and officials who counter-inquiry, answered false questions, and absent without reason should be punished accordingly.

During the General Inquiry, Su Zhenchang used "legislators" many times, and his officials were also "brilliant in battle". When Chen Jizhong, chairman of the "Council of Agriculture", was protested by the "Blue Committee", he slapped the table and left the meeting. Cai Bizhong, the deputy director of the legal department, also questioned the chairman of the Kuomintang, Jiang Qichen, and slapped the table with Jiang Qichen to scold each other. When the "Blue Committee" Li Guimin served as the organizing committee, he invited Qiu Guozheng, the director of the security department, to attend the meeting.

Feng Shikuan, the chairman of the "Retirement Committee", also almost got into a fight with the "Blue Committee" Zheng Tiancai.

"Judicial Yuan" Secretary-General Lin Huihuang made 8 phone calls in half an hour late at night to the DPP "legislator" Gao Jiayu Gao questioned that Lin Huihuang didn't want to explain, but yelled angrily.

The "Blue Committee" Chen Yixin, Ye Yulan, and Li Guimin all proposed to amend the "Taiwan Legislative Body Exercising Powers Act". Answering false statements, or other acts of contempt for the legislature, can be decided to list them as "persona non grata" and refuse the official to enter the court or the committee during the session until the original resolution is abolished.

Ye Yulan’s version stipulates that if the inquiry-preparing officer violates the relevant obligation of answering questions, and if he violates the regulations again after admonition, he will be fined not less than 5,000 yuan (NT$, the same below) but not more than 300,000 yuan; Li Guimin’s version requires that no false questions be answered , after the administrative team or head of department has passed the statutory written reply period, if the inquiry committee fails to respond to the content of the inquiry within 5 days after the written notice of the inquiry committee, and with the consent of one-third of all "legislators", the person who has not responded to the inquiry in accordance with the "law" Department heads will be sacked.

Li Guimin believes that now the executive power has overridden the legislative power, and it is a crisis of "constitutional government". Because the "legislators" of the DPP only have the will of the party, so officials have nothing to fear. Now the legislature, whether it is questioning or reviewing, seems to have passed Like water, the DPP authorities are escorted by the majority, and officials can implement any policy they want, regardless of the views of the legislature. This is public power bullying public opinion.

The "legislator" of the People's Party Cai Biru pointed out that the administrative officials of the Cai administration often deceived and called "legislators". However, Cai Biru expressed respect for the Kuomintang’s plan to propose amendments to the law in response to officials’ contempt of Congress.
