Talk:Impeachment of Han Duck-soo

Ex officio

@Motjustescribe: Please provide a source saying that the FM is ex officio the deputy PM. Deputy PM in any case is the more important role here (because that means they take over from Han), so I also object to having it second even if it's indeed ex officio.

It's spelled out in Article 19 Clause 3 of the Government Organization Act: "The Minister of Economy and Finance and the Minister of Education shall concurrently hold office as Deputy Prime Ministers." Deputy prime ministers aren't appointed and approved by the president of the National Assembly; finance and education ministers automatically assume the role of deputy ministers ex officio.

I don't object to ordering the titles the other way. Motjustescribe (talk) 23:48, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Court decision: pending

Hi. Does it mean Mr. Han is still the acting president and prime minister of South Korea until the court finalizes its decision? Aminabzz (talk) 19:25, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

I think given the circumstances in which he was impeached, he is the suspended PM first and the acting presidency is merely secondary. Borgenland (talk) 01:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

But in the article Han Duck-soo, in the infobox he doesn't still have the successor of PM role mentioned (while we know the successor is Choi Sang-mok). Aminabzz (talk) 15:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Probably a failure to update. Borgenland (talk) 15:14, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

I updated it and the term end Aminabzz (talk) 15:47, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
