Regarding the appointment of constitutional judges, which are currently three vacant, the People's Power argued that acting president Han Deok-soo cannot exercise his right to appoint judges until the decision to impeach the president.

This is because the president is now suspended from office, not in a vacancy, and the Democratic Party of Korea in the past also opposed the appointment of an acting president as a judge, so let's listen to it firsthand.

[Kwon Seong-dong / Acting People's Power Party leader and floor leader: Acting President Han Deok-soo cannot appoint a constitutional judge until the president decides to impeach the impeachment trial. During the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn's exercise of the right to appoint a constitutional judge as a damage to democracy. In other words, the speed of the Democratic Party's appointment of constitutional judges is a 180-degree change from the Democratic Party's arguments in the past. And who is responsible for the current constitutional judge vacuum? The Democratic Party refused to negotiate even though the people's power wanted to recommend and appoint at least one person from the ruling and opposition parties first.
