President Yoon Suk Yeol protested when the Constitutional Court announced Friday that the impeachment proceedings would begin as scheduled.

[Seok Dong-hyun / Legal Consultation for President Yoon Suk Yeol (last 23rd): Don't you think it's not enough time for the lawyers and the president to understand his situation and various positions?]

It is too hasty to request the submission of an opinion less than 10 days after the impeachment motion was passed, but we looked at what it was like during the past two presidential impeachment cases.

First of all, in the case of former President Roh Moo Hyun, the first defense was held 18 days after the approval without proceeding with the preparation date.

In the case of former President Park Geun Hye, the first hearing preparation date was held 12 days after the impeachment bill was passed,

Unlike President Yoon, the charges were relatively simple, he was impeached for violating the constitution and law on nine cases.

I also compared the time it took to deliver the documents.

compared to what he was served immediately on the day of approval.

Yoon also did not receive a series of requests for attendance, saying, "Is it right for the investigative agency to investigate the incumbent president?"Former President

Park also refused the prosecution's request for an investigation when he was an incumbent president, but the charges applied to former President Park at the time were "bribe acceptance" related to state affairs manipulation.

On the other hand, President Yoon is different in that he is a suspect in rebellion, which can be prosecuted criminally even by the incumbent president.

As President Yoon, who said he would stand up to the investigation and impeachment, is delaying legal proceedings one by one, attention is being paid to what precedent such a response will be recorded.
