Hey there! Have you ever wondered what happens if a president doesn’t follow the rules? In South Korea 🇰🇷, there’s a special process called impeachment. Let’s dive in and learn all about it!
What Is Impeachment? 🤔
Impeachment is when the government decides if a leader, like the president, did something wrong and should be removed from office. It’s like when rules are broken at school, and the teacher has to decide what to do.
How Does It Work in South Korea? 🏛️
In South Korea, the National Assembly (that’s like their big meeting of leaders) votes on whether to impeach the president. If enough members agree, the case goes to the Constitutional Court.
The Constitutional Court’s Role ⚖️
The Constitutional Court is like the top referees! They review the case and decide if the president should be removed. They have up to 180 days to make this important decision.
A Real-Life Example 📖
In 2017, President Park Geun-hye was impeached. The court decided she should be removed from office. It was a big moment in South Korea’s history!
Why Is This Important? 🌟
This process helps make sure leaders do the right thing and follow the rules. It shows how democracy works to keep everything fair.
Wrap-Up 🎁
Impeachment might sound complicated, but it’s all about making sure everyone, even leaders, follows the rules. Pretty cool, right?
