The no-confidence proposal shall be put forth before the Yuan Sitting agenda and immediately reported by the presiding chairman to the Yuan Sitting without referring to the Committee of the Whole Yuan for deliberation. Should more than one-half of the total number of the Legislative Yuan members approve the motion, the motion is passed. And a report on the procedure shall be sent to the State President. Within 10 days following passage by the Legislative Yuan of a no-confidence vote against the President of the Executive Yuan, and after consulting with the President of the Legislative Yuan, the State President may declare the dissolution of the Legislative Yuan. However, the State President shall not dissolve the Legislative Yuan while the martial law or an emergency order is in effect.
Petition is the most direct method for the people to express their opinions.
With the development of democratic ideas, the number of petition presented by people to the Legislative Yuan has increased by leaps and bounds. Once written petitions from the people are received by the Secretariat, they shall be decided upon by the Procedure Committee. The Procedure Committee shall decide whether or not they conform to the petition regulations or if there is anything to be supplemented. If a petition falls outside of the jurisdiction of the Legislative Yuan, it shall be sent to the appropriate authority to be dealt with. If it is a matter of government administration, it will be replied accordingly.
