On the subject of the legislature's uncompromising stance, Chen Shui-bian says that the new government shouldn't be confined by the requirements of the previous parliament. If legislators repeatedly impede the introduction of new policies then the president can dissolve parliament and force an early election, enabling "new public opinion" to shape a legislature better geared to the workings of the new government.
對於國會的強硬態度，陳水扁總統則表示新政府不應受製於舊國會，若國會對新政府政策事事掣肘，比如當國民黨立院黨團揚言降低下年度公債上限，為財政惡化苦惱的新政府無計可施，總統將可以借「倒閣」解散國會，重新改選立委，讓「新民意」來配合新政府的運作。
