The National assembly decided to hold a second vote on the impeachment bill against President Yoon Seok-yeol at 4 p.m. on the 14th. Initially, the Democratic Party of Korea announced that it would hold a vote at 5 p.m., but National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik advanced the schedule by one hour.
The National Assembly Secretariat announced on the 13th that it had confirmed the voting schedule through a press notice. An official from the National Assembly Speaker’s Office said, “The plenary session time that the Democratic Party had been hoping for was 5 p.m., but Speaker Woo did not decide on that time. The authority to decide on the agenda lies with the Speaker of the National Assembly.”
He continued,“At the plenary session this afternoon,a report was made on the impeachment bill against President Yoon,and factors such as the need for a vote to be held after 24 hours were taken into consideration,” adding,“As it is a matter of national importance and seriousness,sufficient discussion and consultation time,including at the general meeting of each party’s lawmakers,and delays were necessary.” “Considering factors such as other factors, we decided to hold the plenary session at 4 p.m.,” he explained.
The second impeachment bill against President Yoon, previously proposed by the six opposition parties, including the Democratic Party, was reported at the plenary session of the National Assembly on this day. In the second impeachment bill, the deployment of martial law troops by the National Election Commission, the circumstances of the preliminary martial law plot, and the order to arrest members of the National Assembly, which were newly revealed after the first impeachment bill was proposed, were specified as grounds for impeachment, and through this, President Yoon was defined as the ‘head of the civil war’. It was also pointed out that martial law did not meet the procedural requirements of the Constitution and laws.
the impeachment motion must be voted on within 72 hours after 24 hours of the plenary session report. Originally, the Democratic Party planned to vote at 5 p.m. on the 14th, but Chairman Woo confirmed the plenary session schedule for 4 p.m., an hour earlier.
As of the afternoon of the 13th, seven people from the People power Party, including Reps. Ahn Cheol-soo,Kim Ye-ji,Kim Sang-wook,Kim Jae-seop,Cho Kyung-tae,Jin Jong-oh,and Han ji-ah,publicly expressed their support for impeachment. Assuming that 192 members of the opposition party are in favor, the impeachment bill against President Yoon will be passed if more than 8 people from the ruling party vote to leave.
