Today (27th) afternoon at the plenary session of the National Assembly, a vote on the impeachment of acting President Han Deok-soo will be held.

The ruling party decided to reject Lee Jae-myung as a party platform, saying it would prevent a series of impeachment for the early presidential election.
The
Democratic Party has repeatedly emphasized the need for impeachment, defining Han as an acting "acting civil war."

Let's summarize the conditions for passing the impeachment bill.

Both parties have different logics, right?

[Reporter]
There are differences over whether to consider acting Han Deok-soo as prime minister or a position equivalent to that of the president.

If you look at it as the prime minister alone, the impeachment bill will be passed with only 151 out of 300 lawmakers in favor, and if you consider it as the president, you need more than 200 people's consent.

This is because the Constitution strictly stipulates the president's impeachment requirements than other ordinary public officials.

The ruling party argues that acting president Han should follow the standard of impeachment of the president, as he is acting on behalf of the president.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party counters that a prime minister who is only an appointed position cannot be identified with a president who is directly elected by the people.

Let's listen to the ruling and opposition parties in order.

[Park Hyung-soo / Deputy floor leader of People's Power: Some argue that if the Democratic Party votes on impeachment by meeting the requirements for a majority of the registered members just because of the reason for being prime minister, Han Deok-soo's role as acting prime minister will only be suspended, so he can continue to serve as acting president]

[Park Sung-joon / Deputy floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea (CBS Radio 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show'): Who is the power chosen by the people? Isn't it the president and the lawmaker chosen by the people themselves? Was the prime minister chosen by the people? The people didn't choose it. Since it is an appointed position, of course, I work as an extension of the prime minister...]

In the end, the decision of National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, who will preside over the plenary session in a while, is important, and Chairman Woo is expected to make a statement before the vote.

The confusion, caused by the lack of clear provisions in the Constitution or the National Assembly Act, also means that the impeachment of the acting president is unprecedented in constitutional history.

Even if the impeachment bill is passed, there may be considerable confusion over its effectiveness, such as the refusal of an acting president to accept the results.

The ruling party decided on an autonomous voting policy during the second round of voting on the president's impeachment, but will it enter the plenary session this time?

[Reporter]
If the standard for impeachment is set to "more than 200 people" claimed by the ruling party, it plans to go in or skip the vote.

This is because if the majority standard in favor of the Democratic Party is applied, it is highly likely to pass whether it goes in or not.

In the party's opinion, the opposition to the impeachment bill has been confirmed.

The variable is the departure of the party, and there is a possibility that some lawmakers may vote their conviction as in the last vote on the impeachment of the president or yesterday's vote on the appointment of a constitutional judge.

Rep. Kim Sang-wook also said in an SBS radio interview that acting Han Deok-soo played a wrong role and that he intends to strengthen his impeachment.

The ruling party defines the current situation as the devastation of the state administration, which is facing another impeachment 13 days after President Yoon's impeachment was suspended.

Citing soaring exchange rates, floor leader Kwon Sung-dong criticized Democrats for not caring about the economic and diplomatic crises.

He claimed that the reason for his serial impeachment behavior was for the early presidential election of Lee Jae-myung, but let's listen to his remarks.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: I repeat that the decision to impeach the acting president with such a lame reason for impeachment stems from Lee Jae-myung's impatience. I think it's an action that moves under a grand strategy to cover up his crimes with the election of the president.

What is the reason for the impeachment that the opposition party claims?

[Reporter]
If you look at the impeachment motion submitted by the opposition party, there are five main reasons.

There are three unconstitutional and illegal acts as prime minister and two acts as acting president after the impeachment of the president.

First of all, the opposition party took issue with the fact that, as prime minister, the president proposed the right to request reconsideration in the Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byung or Kim's Special Prosecutor Act and assisted in the declaration of an unconstitutional emergency martial law.

The idea of joint state administration with former representative Han Dong-hoon of the People's Power was also included in the reason for impeachment, saying that it was an unconstitutional idea because the president remained in office at the time.

The reason for impeachment was that he avoided the recommendation of the so-called standing special prosecutor for civil war after becoming acting president and refused to appoint a constitutional judge.

Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, issued a separate statement after pushing the ruling party, saying that the economy of people's livelihoods has fallen due to the obstruction of impeachment by the forces protecting the rebellion.

In the statement, the expression "insurrection" was mentioned 20 times, and we will listen to it for ourselves.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: Acting president] He has turned into acting president for civil war. Until the moment we dismiss the Yoon Suk Yeol and root out the Ongwi forces and completely suppress the civil war, we will gather our capabilities to fulfill our historical responsibilities.]

There is about an hour left before the plenary session of the National Assembly to vote on the impeachment bill, and we will continue to update you on the related news.
