Acting President Han Deok-soo emphasized the spirit of the constitution and the future of the country by vetoing six controversial bills, including the Grain Management Act.
It is also interpreted as a sign that he will perform the duties of an acting authority according to his beliefs and principles.

The opposition party was furious right away.
He said he turned a blind eye to the public sentiment of impeachment of the president, warning that he would also impeach Prime Minister Han if he rejected the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act and the Special Prosecutor Kim Gun-hee Act.

The deadline for exercising the veto power of the two independent counsel laws is January 1st next year, and there are about 10 days left.
For acting Han Deok-soo, it is a time of consideration for his fate.If the government does not exercise the right to reject
, the government and ruling party's cooperation system could falter.
On the contrary, if the veto is exercised, the possibility of impeachment against oneself will increase, and the theory of responsibility for the civil war will be more emphasized.
For this reason, the prevailing observation is that it will not be easy to exercise the veto this time.
An official from the Prime Minister's Office said, "We have a lot of concerns because of the unconstitutional elements or procedural defects in the two independent counsel laws."
Accordingly, the final decision is expected to be announced on the last day of this year after communication between the ruling and opposition parties and collecting expert opinions.
