South Korea's Acting President Han Impeached

South Korea's National Assembly has impeached acting President Han Duck-soo by a unanimous vote of 192-0, deepening the political crisis following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol two weeks prior. Han's impeachment stems from his refusal to appoint three justices to the Constitutional Court, which is vital for adjudicating Yoon's impeachment case after his attempt to impose martial law. The ruling People Power Party boycotted the vote, claiming procedural irregularities and protesting against what they termed 'tyranny.' Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok is set to replace Han in the acting presidency amidst concerns about the political instability's impact on the economy. The Democratic Party of Korea, which led the impeachment, argues that swift action is necessary to stabilize the nation. This unprecedented situation marks the first time both the president and prime minister have been simultaneously impeached, creating uncharted political territory for South Korea.
