This market will resolve to “Yes” if Lai Ching-te ceases to be President of Taiwan for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Lai Ching-te's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. If the specified individual is detained, effectively removed from the specified position, or otherwise permanently prevented from fulfilling the duties of the specified position within this market’s timeframe, it will qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Lai Ching-te and the government of Taiwan; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Taiwan's Legislative Yuan, controlled by opposition Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) with about 60 seats, initiated impeachment proceedings against President Lai Ching-te in late December 2025 over his refusal to enact disputed fiscal and pension legislation, but lacks the three-fourths supermajority (85 of 113 seats) needed for impeachment under the constitution, followed by a binding recall referendum. Public hearings in mid-January 2026 featured partisan clashes, with Lai skipping appearances and dismissing the effort as a symbolic stunt amid legislative gridlock. Early March volatility briefly lifted "Yes" odds to 24% amid defense spending disputes, but traders reverted to viewing removal barriers—absent scandal, health crisis, or DPP defections—as prohibitive through his 2028 term end, yielding 91.5% "No" consensus.
