The DPP is calling for the legislature to examine the central government
budget instead of trying to impeach the president.

The DPP Legislative Caucus slammed the KMT for wasting time on criticizing
the president rather than responding to the expectations of the public by
examining the 2026 government operating budget.

Meanwhile the opposition KMT and TPP are pushing ahead with their effort to
impeach President Lai...

saying the country needs to get back on track.

The comments come as lawmakers handle impeachment proceedings against the
president today and tomorrow before putting it to a vote on Tuesday.

Deputy Speaker Jiang Qi Chen today said that the legislature had invited the
president to appear to defend himself, but the president failed to show up.

According to the Constitution, impeaching against the president require a
two-thirds majority vote from lawmakers...

before going to the Constitutional Court.

If lawmakers vote along party lines, the opposition does not appear to have
the votes to pass the motion.
