Lawmakers are slated to vote tomorrow on a motion to impeach President Lai
Ching-te.

This, after Lai failed to attend legislative review sessions on an
impeachment motion against him ahead of a final vote.

The impeachment drive was initiated by the K-M-T and the Taiwan People's
Party ..

They accuse Lai of breaching the Constitution after Premier Zhu Rong-tai
refused to countersign amendments passed by lawmakers to a fiscal revenue
allocation law.

The K-M-T stressed that no one in the Republic of China is above the law and
it is unacceptable that a president elected through democracy who is
unwilling to accept its constraints.

While the T-P-P says the impeachment bid is aimed as being a "wake up" call
for the the president.

D-P-P lawmakers boycotted the review sessions after charging the opposition
with turning a political dispute into an impeachment matter.

However, D-P-P lawmakers are slated to attend tomorrow's vote to formally
oppose the motion.

The impeachment is expected to fail - as the K-M-T and T-P-P hold a combined
62 seats - which falls short of the two-thirds majority required to refer the
case to the Constitutional Court.

It comes as Lai will be marking the halfway point of his four year term on
Wednesday.
