Good. South Korea standing solidly on the side of democracy and the rule of law.

May you live in less interesting times.
What a relief
Why was that so hard, Dems?
well, yea. it is.
impeachment of rok president also suspends their powers and duties until a court rules on removal from office. rok has also previously convicted two recent former presidents for abuse of power. the plot twist: the currently-impeached president played a key role in those two cases.
an impeached president in rok holds no official power, and is not exempt from or immune to prosecution.
in the u.s., an impeached president remains fully in power (impeachment is just the 'charges filed', not the trial or verdict) until a second legislative body holds a 'trial' and votes to convict and remove from office (guilty verdict).
u.s. courts have previously ruled a president is essentially 'untouchable'--except through impeachment. a process that requires super majorities in congress to lay charges and to convict.
