Any note on the constitutionality of Chiang retaking the presidency after he had resigned? --Jiang 09:10, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- It was legally justifiable because Li was not a successor, legally or realistically. Li was merely acting -- and didn't even possess the full power acting pres. usually has. Li was warming the seat until a real president comes.
- How Chiang's presidency resignation letter is so plastically unofficial and can be rescinded twleve months is beyond me. I've only read Li biographies (mostly from Mainland), and those ones didn't mention the details how Chiang sneaked back into power. --Menchi 09:27, Aug 13, 2003 (UTC)
Chiang resumed his duties as president on March 1, 1950. Who was officially in charge between Nov 1949 and Mar 1950? --Jiang 04:36, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- I think Li was the one officially in charge, but perhaps Chiang was the one in real power[1] (http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,812143,00.html). But still, when Li flew to the U.S. the president Truman still recieved him as the legal president. Chiang's return to presidency in Taiwan is wierd. He returned to power in a government in exile, a position no better and no higher than the nationalist armies in Burma.Mababa 07:01, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
