This speech was given at the Department of Politics of National Taiwan University on 12 March 2026. It discussed the nature of the executive power in institutional terms and concluded that the title of the chief magistrate – either king, queen, chairman or president – would not alter the fact that he or she is always the most dangerous person in the country.
Dr Huang defined the person entitled to this dangerous power as the ruler and the supreme lawmaker as the sovereign owner, and warned that it would be naïve to say that the sovereign power cannot be transferred back to the ruler in practical terms in modern democracies. This could happen if people were careless or ignorant about the separation of powers doctrine, especially if they had no strong faith in democratism.
