Invited scholars at the Legislative Yuan's hearing on impeaching President
Lai Ching-te said the opposition-party's move is legitimate, legally
grounded, a last resort, and constitutional.

The DPP caucus has refused to attend the hearing, while both the KMT and TPP
caucuses submitted lists of invitees and designated their lawmakers to
conduct questioning.



The KMT caucus' guests include Dong-hai law professor Lin Teng-yao (林騰鷂),
while the TPP caucus invited Yang Chia-fa (楊家法), founder of the Climate
Vanguard Alliance.



Lin Teng-yao said President Lai has violated his constitutional duty of
loyalty, betrayed the people, and deviated from core constitutional
principles.

Yang said flawed energy policy is more dangerous than corruption, and the
president’s electricity policy has been inconsistent and can't meet the
demand.

After Premier Cho Jung-tai announced on December 15 last year that he would
not countersign the revised Allocation of Government Revenues and
Expenditures Act, the opposition lawmakers decided to impeach President Lai.

However, the chances of it passing the Legislative Yuan are low.
