00:00Plans for President Lai Ching-de to deliver an address at the legislature have hit a snag.
00:05Ruling and opposition party lawmakers can't agree on a format.
00:20Opposition legislators have repeatedly called on Lai to speak and then answer their questions.
00:25Lai's office declined those requests, saying it is unconstitutional.
00:30But earlier this week, Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu said that Lai agreed to answer lawmakers questions in a more
00:35controlled format.
00:36On Tuesday, talks on the method for questioning the president broke down.
01:01If Lai addresses the legislature, he would be the first president to do so since 2000.
