WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOON IS IMPEACHED?
If the senate voting on Saturday is successful, the case will be transferred to the Constitutional Court. Friedhoff stated that he does no anticipate hearing a conviction for three or four months.
He also raised questions about whether the problem can even be heard. There are now six sitting judges, but seven are required to complete view.
We would see an vote within 60 days if they do choose to replace him and declare that his impeachment is legal and he is actually removed from power, Friedhoff added.
The most plausible time to watch out for that vote is May or June, according to the article.
Richey said it remains vague how the Constitutional Court will achieve its seven-judge vote, and if so, whether they would preserve the prosecution.
The analyst noted that Yoon’s on Thursday appeared to outline his good defense in the Constitutional Court decision-making process, which includes whether or not to declare martial law.
” He argues that he followed the legal process of doing so, and therefore, with a judge that does have conservative justices sitting on it, it’s not a promise, I think, at this point, that he would in truth been convicted”, cautioned Richey.
Because he is reinstated as president without the judgment of the Constitutional Court, it is finally required to remove him from office.
