Why protesters in Taiwan are angry with lawmakers

Demonstrations are expected across Taiwan on Friday in response to opposition lawmakers' efforts to pass a bill that would expand their powers and restrict newly elected President Lai Ching-te's ability to govern. The proposed changes would increase parliament's oversight of Lai's government by broadening lawmakers' investigative powers to summon individuals, including the president, for questioning. Those found in contempt of the legislature could face fines and criminal penalties.
