Closing Jul 05, 2025 07:01AM UTC
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol surprised many by declaring martial law on 3 December 2024, which the National Assembly promptly voted to lift pursuant to Article 77 of the South Korean constitution (AP, CNBC, Hankyoreh). Impeachment and removal are governed by Article 65 of the South Korean constitution, and the procedure of the Constitutional Court in cases of impeachment is governed by the Constitutional Court Act, which includes a 180-day time limit to decide a case (South Korea Constitution, South Korea Constitutional Court Act).
