We'll have to wait for the vote, the leader of the PPP came out strongly against the martial law, voted to lift it and shook the hand of the Democratic Party leader afterwards, it seems like the military were almost entirely against it and the public were furious, so whoever doesn't vote to impeach him will be at risk next election, especially since PPP only recently suffered a huge defeat on the back of the hugely unpopular Yoon. But maybe they want to commit career suicide. |
Presidential republics should really have set the bar for conviction in an impeachment trial a lot lower. There's no reason it should take 67 percent of a legislative body to remove a president. At most it should be 60 percent. I get why they want to set the bar high enough to discourage politically-motivated turnover, but I would rather see a few more impeached and removed presidents than to have people who are demonstrably unfit for office skate on party lines.
