Constitutional theory

The concept of Legislative Yuan was introduced by Sun Yat­sen's Three  Principles  of  the  People. The theory

proposed a separation of powers into five branches (五院; wǔyuàn; gō ­īⁿ). The Legislative Yuan, under Sun's
political  theory,  is  a  branch  of  government  elected  by  the  National  Assembly  that  serves  as  the  standing
legislative body when the National Assembly is not in session.

The  1947  Constitution  of  the  Republic  of  China  has  many  influence  from  the  resolutions  of  the  Political
Consultative Assembly held between the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) and the Chinese Communist
Party. The legislators are to be elected through direct elections. In the constitution, Legislative Yuan, together
with  National  Assembly  and  Control  Yuan,  form  a  tricameral  parliament  according  to  the  Judicial  Yuan's
interpretation number 76 of the Constitution (1957).[6]

However,  the  later  constitutional  amendments  in  the  1990s  removed  the  parliament  roles  from  National
Assembly and Control Yuan and transferred them to the Legislative Yuan. Legislative Yuan then became the
unicameral parliament.

Establishment and relocation to Taiwan

The  original  Legislative  Yuan  was  formed  in  the  original  capital  of  Nanking  after  the  completion  of  the
Northern Expedition. Its 51 members were appointed to a term of two years. The 4th Legislative Yuan under
this period had its members expanded to 194, and its term in office was extended to 14 years because of the
Second Sino­Japanese War (1937–45). According to KMT political theory, these first four sessions marked the
period of political tutelage.
The current Constitution of the Republic of China came into effect on 25
December 1947, and the first Legislative session convened in Nanking on
18 May 1948, with 760 members. Six preparatory meetings had been held
on  8  May  1948,  during  which  Sun  Fo  and  Chen  Li­fu  were  elected
President and Vice President of the body. In 1949, the mainland fell to the
Communist  Party  and  the  Legislative  Yuan  (along  with  the  entire  ROC
government)  was  transplanted  to  Taipei.  On  24  February  1950,  380
members convened at the Sun Yat­sen Hall in Taipei.

years  ending  in  1951;  however,  the  fall  of  mainland  China  made  it
impossible to hold new elections.[7] As a result, the Judicial Yuan decided
that  the  members  of  the  Legislative  Yuan  would  continue  to  hold  office
until  new  elections  could  be  held  on  the  Mainland.  This  decision  was
made  in  the  belief  that  the  KMT  would  retake  the  Mainland  in  a  short
time. However, over the years, as the prospect of regaining the Mainland
diminished,  this  meant  that  the  legislators  from  mainland  districts  (and
members  of  the  ruling  KMT)  held  their  seats  for  life,  in  a  one­party
system. The body thus came to be called "the Non­reelected Congress".[7]

Over  the  years,  deceased  members  elected  on  the  mainland  were  not
replaced  while  additional  seats  were  created  for  Taiwan  starting  with
Former Legislative Yuan and
eleven seats in 1969. Fifty­one new members were elected to a three­year
Control Yuan building in Nanking in

one  hundred  in  1986,  and  one  hundred  thirty  in  1989.  Although  the
elected  members  of  the  Legislative  Yuan  did  not  have  the  majority  to
defeat legislation, they were able to use the Legislative Yuan as a platform
to express political dissent. Opposition parties were formally illegal until 1991, but in the 1970s candidates to
the Legislative Yuan would run as Tangwai ("outside the party"), and in 1985 candidates began to run under
the banner of the Democratic Progressive Party.

Democratization

The members of the Legislative Yuan with extended terms remained until 31 December 1991, when as part of
subsequent Judicial Yuan ruling they were forced to retire and the members elected in 1989 remained until
the 161 members of the Second Legislative Yuan were elected in December 1992. The third LY, elected in 1995,
had 157 members serving 3­year terms. The fourth LY, elected in 1998, was expanded to 225 members in part
to  include  legislators  from  the  abolished  provincial  legislature  of  Taiwan  Province.  The  Legislative  Yuan
greatly increased its prominence after the 2000 Presidential elections in Taiwan when the Executive Yuan and
presidency was controlled by the Democratic Progressive Party while the Legislative Yuan had a large majority
of Kuomintang members. The legislative elections in late 2001 produced a contentious situation in which the
pan­blue coalition has only a thin majority over the governing pan­green coalition in the legislature,[8] making
the  passage  of  bills often  dependent  on  the  votes  of  a  few  defectors  and  independents. Because  of  the  party
situation there have been constitutional conflicts between the Legislative Yuan and the executive branch over
the process of appointment for the premier and whether the president has the power to call a special session.

Amid 70% public support, the Legislative Yuan voted 217–1 on 23 August 2004 for a package of amendments
to:

Halve the number of seats from 225 to 113

Switch to a single-member district parallel voting electoral system
Increase the terms of members from 3 to 4 years, to synchronize the legislative and presidential elections.
(The change was implemented for the next election cycle, as the legislative election was held in January
2008, and the presidential election followed in March.)

The new electoral system installed in 2008 includes 73 plurality seats (one for each electoral district), 6 seats
for  aboriginals,  with  the  remaining  34  seats  to  be  filled  from  party  lists.  Every  county  has  a  minimum  of  1
electoral  district,  thereby  guaranteed  at  least  one  seat  in  the  legislature,  while  half  of  the  proportionally
represented seats drawn from party lists must be women.
Additionally, the Legislative Yuan proposed to abolish the National Assembly. Future amendments would still
be proposed by the LY by a three­fourths vote from a quorum of at least three­fourths of all members of the
Legislature. After a mandatory 180­day promulgation period, the amendment would have to be ratified by an
absolute majority of all eligible voters of the ROC irrespective of voter turnout. The latter requirement would
allow a party to kill a referendum proposal by asking that their voters boycott the vote as was done by the KMT
with the referendums associated with the 2004 Presidential Election.

A DPP proposal to allow the citizens the right to initiate constitutional referendums was pulled off the table,
due to a lack of support. The proposal was criticized for dangerously lowering the threshold for considering a
constitutional  amendment.  Whereas  a  three­fourths  vote  of  the  LY  would  require  that  any  proposed
constitutional  amendment  have  a  broad  political  consensus  behind  it,  a  citizen's  initiative  would  allow  a
fraction of the electorate to force a constitutional referendum. It was feared that allowing this to occur would
result in a referendum on Taiwan independence which would likely result in a crisis with the People's Republic
of China.

The Legislative Yuan also proposed to give itself the power to summon the president for an annual "state of
the  nation"  address  and  launch  a  recall  of  the  president  and  vice  president  (proposed  by  one  fourth  and
approved  by  two  thirds  of  the  legislators  and  be  submitted  to  a  nationwide  referendum  for  approval  or
rejection by majority vote). The Legislative Yuan will also have the power to propose the impeachment of the
president or vice president to the Council of Grand Justices.

An  ad  hoc  National  Assembly  was  elected  and  formed  in  2005  to  ratify  the  amendments.  The  downsized
Legislative Yuan took effect after the 2008 elections.

On 20 July 2007, the Legislative Yuan passed a Lobbying Act.[9]

Elections and terms
The Kuomintang­led government of the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan in 1949, the year following the
first legislative elections (1948) after the enactment of the 1947 constitution. As the Kuomintang government
continues  to  claim  sovereignty  over  Mainland China,  the  term  of  the  original  legislators  was  extended  until
"re­election is possible in their original electoral districts." In response to the increasing democracy movement
in Taiwan, limited supplementary elections were held in Taiwan starting from 1969 and parts of Fujian from
1972.  Legislators  elected  in  these  supplementary  elections  served  together  with  those  who  were  elected  in
1948.  This  situation  remained  until  a  Constitutional  Court  (Judicial  Yuan)  ruling  on  June  21,  1991  that
ordered the retirement of all members with extended terms by the end of 1991.[10]

Timeline of Legislative Yuan elections and terms
The legislature had 225 members during the 4th, 5th, and 6th terms. Legislators were elected as follows:

168 were elected by popular vote through single non-transferable vote in multi-member consistencies.
41 were elected on the basis of the proportion of nationwide votes received by participating political
parties.
8 were allocated for overseas citizens and were selected by the parties on the basis of the proportion of
votes received nationwide.
8 seats were reserved for the indigenous populations.

Since the 7th term, the 113 legislators are elected to office as follows:

73 are elected under the first-past-the-post system in single-member constituencies.

34 are elected under the supplementary member system on a second ballot, based on nationwide votes,
and calculated using the largest remainder method by the Hare quota.[11] Any party which receives 5% or
more of the party vote can enter the parliament. For each party, at least half of the legislators elected
under this system must be female.
6 seats are elected by indigenous voters through single non-transferable vote in two three-member
constituencies.

Composition by term
The Kuomintang (KMT) held a supermajority of seats in the Legislative Yuan between 1948 and 1991, while
some  seats  were  held  by  the  Chinese  Youth  Party  (CYP)  and  the  China  Democratic  Socialist  Party  (CDSP).
Through the limited supplementary elections held in since the 1970s, the Tangwai movement saw their share
of  seats  increase.  Most  members  in  the  Tangwai  movement  joined  the  Democratic  Progressive  Party  (DPP)
after its founding in the late 1980s.

Issues

Protests and occupation

On 18 March 2014, the Legislative Yuan was occupied by protesting students.[12]

Legislative violence

Much of the work of the Legislative Yuan is done via legislative committees, and a common sight on Taiwanese
television  involves  officials  of  the  executive  branch  answering  extremely  hostile  questions  from  opposition
members  in  committees.  In  the  1990s,  there  were  a  number  of  cases  of  violence  breaking  out  on  the  floor,
usually  triggered  by  some  perceived  unfair  procedure  ruling,  but  in  recent  years,  these  have  become  less
common. There was a brawl involving 50 legislators in January 2007 and an incident involving 40 legislators
on 8 May 2007 when a speaker attempted to speak about reconfiguring the Central Election Committee. It has
been alleged that fights are staged and planned in advance.[13] These antics led the scientific humor magazine
Annals  of  Improbable  Research  to  award  the  Legislative  Yuan  its  Ig  Nobel  Peace  Prize  in  1995  "for
demonstrating  that  politicians  gain  more  by  punching,  kicking  and  gouging  each  other  than  by  waging  war
against  other  nations".[14]  On  the  29  June  2020  more  than  20  lawmaker  from  the  opposition  party
Kuomintang took over the legislature over night. Blocking entry to the main chamber with chains and chairs,
saying  the  government  was  trying  to  force  through  legislation  and  demanding  the  president  withdraw  the
nomination of a close aide to a high­level watchdog. DPP lawmakers forced themselves in while there where
scuffles and shouting with Kuomintang lawmakers.
