Ahead of the National Assembly's impeachment vote this afternoon, the presidential office staff will go to work early in the morning to watch the situation calmly.

In a situation where the outcome is not guaranteed, it is reported that all possibilities were open and countermeasures were considered.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Cho Yong Sung!

How is the atmosphere in the presidential office now?

[Reporter]
Some staff members have been working since dawn, and reporters from each media company are preparing to broadcast one by one.

The president's office checks preparations after the National Assembly's impeachment vote in the afternoon, while refraining from communicating with the media as much as possible,

Especially this morning, the ruling party plans to hold a general meeting of lawmakers to finalize its position at the party level on the pros and cons of impeachment, so it seems that they are closely watching the situation of the National Assembly.

President Yoon has been coming to the presidential office only at the time of the announcement of the statement from the time of the declaration and lifting of the emergency martial law,

Today, he will be briefed on the situation of the National Assembly at his official residence in Hannam-dong and watch the voting process live on TV.In his fourth statement on the emergency martial law two days ago, President

Yoon vowed to fight to the end, whether impeached or investigated.

Accordingly, it is expected that they will also be devising countermeasures based on the results of the National Assembly vote.

Then, what happens to the situation after the National Assembly vote?

[Reporter]
If the impeachment motion is passed, the president's exercise of authority will be suspended as soon as the impeachment resolution is delivered to the presidential office in Yongsan and the Constitutional Court.

Eight years ago, the impeachment bill against former President Park Geun Hye was delivered to Cheong Wa Dae three hours after passing the National Assembly.

If the impeachment bill is passed, President Yoon will not be able to perform his duties for up to 180 days until the results of the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial come out.

The case of former President Roh Moo Hyun's impeachment was decided in 63 days, and the case of former President Park Geun Hye was decided after the Constitutional Court heard it in 91 days.

If the president's duties are suspended, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo will act on behalf of him in accordance with Article 71 of the Constitution.

If the system is converted to an acting authority system, the presidential secretariat will also be directed by Prime Minister Han.

This is because under the Government Organization Act, the secretariat is supposed to assist the president in his duties, not individuals.President

Yoon can live in Hannam-dong's official residence as long as he maintains his status as president even if he is suspended from office, and he will also maintain respect for the president, such as official cars and security guards.

If the impeachment bill is rejected or discarded because it does not meet the quorum of votes as it was in the vote a week ago, President Yoon will, of course, maintain all his powers as president.

The political turmoil is expected to continue as the opposition party has announced that it will propose an impeachment motion every week if the impeachment bill is rejected.

So far, I'm YTN Cho Yong-sung in the presidential office in Yongsan.
