THE YOON ENDGAME
There are currently numerous endgame scenarios, the majority of which depend on how Mr. Yoon’s congressional allies respond to the growing political pressure.
First, he may continue by properly handing over his administration to his legislative partners. Only that, Mr. Yoon delivered a simple speech a few hours before the ballot on Saturday, offering. He made an offer to allow the liberal PPP, his ally political party, to adopt his policies in the National Assembly.
This is good bait to avert PPP lawmakers ‘ support for his treatment. Perhaps they will keep Mr. Yoon if they believe they will continue to rule the nation with him relegated to a curious caregiver part. Because he fears a trial and prison time, Mr. Yoon is perhaps making quite a large concession. A North Korean leader who was removed from office in 2017 spent time behind bars. If removed, Mr Yoon probably will too.
Another possibility is that Mr. Yoon steps down, apparently as a result of a non-prosecution quid pro quo. This casual arrangement persuaded US President Richard Nixon to step down in 1974 when he was facing a possible impeachment for the Watergate scandal. Mr Nixon may perhaps have been convicted, he faced prison period. To clasp that, he left company freely, and his son pardoned him. Mr. Yoon may opt for such a deal, but it’s not clear if he trusts the opposition enough to refuse to bring charges against him if he leaves.
A last chance, at the sides of the argument, is legal revision. South Korea’s leader now serves one five-year name. The country may join the US national system for two four-year terms, according to South Korean political knowledge. If enacted, Mr Yoon’s expression had ending in May 2026, no May 2027.
This option appeals because it avoids a second South Korean president’s impeachment in only eight years and avoids the legislature’s political machinations. A democracy should constantly remove its chief executive from its hands.
