National Assembly Passes Temporary Session Until 17th... Impeachment Bill to Be Resubmitted in New Session if Rejected

On the afternoon of the 11th, the National Assembly held a plenary session and passed the agenda to hold a temporary session for seven days from that day until the 17th (Resolution on the 419th National Assembly session) with 177 votes in favor and 81 against out of 258 members present.

Earlier, the Democratic Party of Korea decided to hold temporary sessions in one-week increments, up to a maximum of 30 days, in preparation for the possibility that the impeachment motion against President Yoon might fail to pass.

This is because, according to the principle of ilsabujae (no re-submission), a motion that has been rejected once cannot be resubmitted within the same session.

On the afternoon of the same day, the Democratic Party of Korea filed the impeachment motion against President Yoon and plans to report it to the plenary session on the 12th. The vote on the impeachment motion is expected to take place at 5 p.m. on the 14th.

If the impeachment motion against President Yoon is rejected again or discarded due to lack of quorum in the vote, it is expected that a new session will be convened to resubmit the motion.
