Editing Control Yuan (section)

=== Democratization ===
Democratization took place in [[Taiwan]] starting late 1980s; the movement resulted in a series of [[constitutional amendment]] known as the [[Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China|Additional Articles of the Constitution]]. On May 27, 1992, the second amendment removed the Control Yuan from [[parliament]] [[Legislative chamber|chambers]] and its members removed from their legislative duties. Decision process of leaders and members of the Control Yuan follows a similar pattern of [[Judicial Yuan]] and [[Examination Yuan]]. These officials were nominated by the [[President of the Republic of China|President of the Republic]] and confirmation by the [[National Assembly (Republic of China)|National Assembly]]. The [[National Assembly (Republic of China)|National Assembly]] was another [[parliament]] [[Legislative chamber|chamber]] that can hold the confirmation process to maintain the [[separation of powers]].<ref>{{cite constitution| amendment = 2| polity =the Republic of China| date = 1992}}</ref>

On 18 July 1997, by the 4th [[constitutional amendment]], the procedure to [[impeachment|impeach]] the [[President of the Republic of China|President]] and [[President of the Republic of China|Vice President of the Republic]] was transferred out from the Control Yuan. In this amendment, presidential impeachment shall be initiated by [[Legislative Yuan]] and voted by the [[National Assembly (Republic of China)|National Assembly]].<ref>{{cite constitution| amendment = 4| polity =the Republic of China| date = 1997}}</ref> However, the later political developments in [[Taiwan]] has inclined to simplify the [[parliament]] to [[Unicameralism|one chamber]]. The [[Legislative Yuan]] was the surviving chamber and the [[National Assembly (Republic of China)|National Assembly]] was then abolished.<ref>{{cite constitution| amendment = 6| polity =the Republic of China| date = 1997}}</ref> Since 25 April 2000, confirmation of leaders and members of the Control Yuan are transferred to [[Legislative Yuan]], together with the confirmation of similar officials of [[Judicial Yuan]] and [[Examination Yuan]].<ref>{{cite constitution| amendment = 7| polity =the Republic of China| date = 1997}}</ref>

At the end of 2004, [[President of the Republic of China|President]] [[Chen Shui-bian]] sent a list of nominees to positions in the Control Yuan to the [[Legislative Yuan]] for approval. The coalition of [[Kuomintang]] and [[People First Party (Taiwan)|People First Party]], which then held a majority in the Legislative Yuan, refused to ratify President Chen's nominees and demanded that he submit a new list. The political deadlock that resulted stopped the Control Yuan from functioning from February 2005 to July 2008. The situation resolved after [[Kuomintang]]'s candidate [[Ma Ying-jeou]] was elected as the [[President of the Republic of China|President]] in [[2008 Taiwanese presidential election]] and [[Kuomintang]] won the [[supermajority]] of Legislative Yuan seats in [[2008 Taiwanese legislative election]]. Mr. [[Wang Chien-shien]] was then appointed to be its president under the [[Ma Ying-jeou]] administration.

In 2016, [[Democratic Progressive Party]]'s candidate [[Tsai Ing-wen]] was elected as the [[President of the Republic of China|President]] in [[2016 Taiwanese presidential election]] and [[Democratic Progressive Party]] won the majority of Legislative Yuan seats in [[2016 Taiwanese legislative election]]. On 10 December 2019, the [[Legislative Yuan]] passed the National Human Rights Committee Organic Law (國家人權委員會組織法), which established the National Human Rights Committee under the Control Yuan. Its duties include investigating human rights abuses, proposing human rights laws, compiling an annual report, and educational promotion of human rights, in accordance with the [[Paris Principles (human rights standards)|Paris Principles]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Shih |first1=Hsiu-chuan |title=Control Yuan may be made National Human Rights Institution |url=https://focustaiwan.tw/politics/201812110020 |access-date=18 June 2020 |work=[[Central News Agency (Taiwan)]] |date=11 December 2018 |archive-date=22 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622022203/https://focustaiwan.tw/politics/201812110020 |url-status=live }}</ref>  The committee will consist of 10 members, one of which is the President of the Control Yuan who heads the committee.<ref name="hr">{{cite news |last1=Wang |first1=Yang-yu |last2=Mazzetta |first2=Matthew |title=Bill passed to establish Human Rights Committee under Control Yuan |url=https://focustaiwan.tw/politics/201912100020 |access-date=8 June 2020 |work=[[Central News Agency (Taiwan)]] |date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=8 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200608213853/https://focustaiwan.tw/politics/201912100020 |url-status=live }}</ref> It launched on August 1, 2020, with former democracy activist [[Chen Chu]] as president.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lin |first1=Sean |title=Human Rights Commission launched |url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2020/08/02/2003740999 |website=[[Taipei Times]] |date=2 August 2020 |access-date=10 March 2021 |archive-date=25 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125150406/https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2020/08/02/2003740999 |url-status=live }}</ref>  [[Kuomintang]] member [[Justin Huang]] was discussed as a potential vice-president, but he declined the position after receiving criticism from both the KMT for crossing party lines without consultation and the DPP for his role in the construction of the [[Taitung Miramar Resort]] while he was county magistrate, for which the county government was censured by the Control Yuan.<ref>{{cite web |title=Control Yuan nominees confirmed |url=https://taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2020/06/23/2003738710 |website=[[Taipei Times]] |date=23 June 2020 |access-date=10 March 2021 |archive-date=3 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210303074831/https://taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2020/06/23/2003738710 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=監院副院長 提名回扣案黃健庭 立委譁然 |url=https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/politics/paper/1380809 |access-date=19 June 2020 |work=[[Liberty Times]] |date=19 June 2020 |archive-date=20 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200620203136/https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/politics/paper/1380809 |url-status=live }}</ref>
