Acting President Choi Sang-mok's official title is "Acting President and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance", 18 characters.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok, who issued a public statement yesterday saying he would do his best to stabilize state affairs as soon as he became the acting president, ordered all ministries to work and held a National Security Council meeting, today focused on receiving work reports at the Government Complex in Seoul.
The Ministry of Strategy and Finance said Acting President Choi Sang-mok has no official external schedule today and is receiving work-related reports.
Acting President Choi should serve as the President, Prime Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs.
In terms of fields, we also need to communicate with the National Assembly on diplomacy, defense, and economy.
Acting President Choi seems to be receiving intensive reports on diplomatic and defense issues without experience.
At the same time, we are also considering how to operate an unprecedented emergency government.
Unlike the Prime Minister's Office, there is no organization in the Ministry of Economy and Finance to be in charge of the main duties of the acting authority, including the Cabinet meeting.
Therefore, there is a prospect that the organization of the Prime Minister's Office will continue related work.
Some predict that the National Security Office or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defense will take charge of foreign affairs and security.
The biggest concern in the impeachment process is the maintenance of the economy, especially external credibility.
The role of the economic head coach is expected to be shared by the two vice ministers of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
In the constitutional history, the deputy prime minister has never served as an acting president and the prime minister, and there is no specific law.
Since there are no precedents and precedents, the scope of the authority and role of what judgment can be made is also expected to be a subject of consideration.
"Many people are saying that the acting role of the acting president is very limited," Choi said yesterday at a meeting with reporters before the acting job was handed over.
