At the second hearing of the impeachment trial of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol, the National Assembly and the president had a fierce battle over whether the declaration of emergency martial law was unconstitutional.

In the second hearing held at the Constitutional Court at 2 p.m. today (16th), the National Assembly argued that it was unconstitutional, saying that President Yoon declared martial law and did not have procedures when it was not a national emergency.

In addition, President Yoon emphasized that he should be dismissed quickly, saying that he is making an anti-constitutional argument to divide the people rather than reflecting on the act of violating the constitutional order so far.

On the other hand, President Yoon's side countered that the president had no choice but to declare emergency martial law, saying he had received a lot of reports about fraudulent elections.

In addition, he claimed that the security of the NEC system was very poor, and that it was an affiliate of Ssangbangwool, which is suspected of sending money to North Korea.
