A constitutional amendment proposed by Taiwan's two opposition parties to
abolish the Control Yuan and transfer its powers of presidential impeachment
to the Legislature has received enough support to move forward.

That, according to a lawmaker who sponsored the bill.

The amendment was sponsored by Huang Kuo-chang of the Taiwan People's Party
(TPP) and Lo Chih-chiang of the KMT, whose parties allege that the Control
Yuan has been acting in favor of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party
(DPP).

Huang announced the proposed amendment during a press conference at the
Legislative Yuan in Taipei Friday morning, during which he said the Taiwanese
public has had enough with the Control Yuan members acting in the interests
of the DPP.

He later wrote about the bill's progress in a Facebook post.

According to the proposed amendment, the Control Yuan's powers of
impeachment, censure and audit will be moved to the Legislative Yuan.
