Temporary Provisions Effective During the Period of Communist Rebellion
The Temporary Provisions Effective During the Period of Communist Rebellion (zh-tp |t=動員戡亂時期臨時條款|p=Dòngyuán kānluàn shíqī línshí tiáokuǎn) was a series of temporary constitutional provisions passed by the
National Assembly of the Republic of China onMay 10 ,1948 and gave PresidentChiang Kai-shek extended powers amid the height of theChinese Civil War with the Chinese Communists. The provisions halted democratic processes and allowed the president andVice President of the Republic of China to be exempted from the two-term limit. After the Chinese mainland was lost to the Communists and the government retreated toTaiwan in December 1949, these provisions were to remain in effect until the mainland could be recovered from the Chinese Communists. However, the tension of theCold War era gradually subsided during the 1980s as "retaking the mainland" became less of a possibility and the National Assembly onApril 22 ,1991 , resolved to abolish the Temporary Provisions. OnApril 30 of the same year, PresidentLee Teng-hui declared the Period of Communist Rebellion to be terminated as ofMay 1 .References
