What a shame, I thought they were better than us with how quickly they stepped up to squash the coup.
yeah. kicking him out seems a no brainer.

yeah but as someone commented. thought south koreans would show more sense than us with trump and uk with brexit.
Well, “Impeaching” a president literally just means holding a trial. The House of Representatives (controlled by Democrats at the time) issued articles of Impeachment, initiating the process of charging him with a crime, as is required by law.
The law also mandates the Senate to be the Judge and Jury though, and the Senate was controlled by Republicans, who voted to acquit him of all his crimes. Twice.
So not quite the same, since the vote to end martial law in Korea was unanimous, but the vote to initiate impeachment failed.

Ah my bad, when I read the vote was 190-0, I assumed that was everyone.
When you think about it, in some ways it’s not that unreasonable of an assumption. 300 - 110 (who couldn’t get into the building) = 190 (who voted to end martial law)
If you could the votes of those who were actually present, then you could say it was unanimous.
That said, a PPP delegate who was going to vote against probably didn’t have a whole lot of incentive to try and get into the building (suggesting the possibility that it might be reasonable to count at least some of the “unable to get in” folks as no votes).
Yoon did not offer to resign, but said he would leave decisions on how to stabilise the country to his party.
“I shit the bed, but I am honorable and trustworthy enough to let others clean it up for me.”

He did say he was sorry
/sSame energy i imagine

He learned his lesson?
