Chief Justice of Constitutional Court urges verdict on Park impeachment by March 13
The outgoing Chief Justice of the Korean Constitutional Court called Wednesday for a verdict on President Park Geun-hye's impeachment by March 13 to ensure a fair trial.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and Korea’s presidential system has serious flaws that even the US suffers from. The South Korean constitution should be changed to employ a modified semi-presidential system, and a declaration should be made at the next presidential inauguration ceremony that the nation’s highest office is beyond political partisanship. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
