With the news that the impeachment motion against Yoon Suk Yeol's president was passed, the president's office sank in a somber atmosphere.

When the impeachment resolution arrives at the presidential office soon, President Yoon's duties will be suspended.

I'm connecting with the reporter.

Reporter Cho Yong-sung, what is the situation in the presidential office?

The presidential office staff, who have been paying close attention to the vote on the impeachment bill of the National Assembly all day, seem to be lost for words in sorrow.

It's not that I didn't expect the impeachment to be passed, but it's true that I've been expecting the impeachment bill to be voted down by the ruling party.

However, as the impeachment became a reality, it seems to have been shocked by the feeling of despondency.

President Yoon, who has not been to work at the government building since the time of the declaration and lifting of the emergency martial law, reportedly watched the voting process live on TV while being briefed on the situation of the National Assembly at his official residence.President

Yoon is not expected to make a separate position on the outcome of the vote as he expressed his position for 29 minutes in a statement two days ago.

Soon, when the impeachment resolution is delivered to the presidential office here in Yongsan, the president's exercise of authority will be suspended immediately.

Eight years ago, the prosecution resolution against former President Park Geun Hye was delivered to Cheong Wa Dae three hours after the impeachment bill passed the National Assembly.

For up to 180 days until the results of the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial come out, President Yoon was unable to perform his duties,
In accordance with Article 71 of the Constitution, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo will act on behalf of the President if his/her duties are suspended.

If it is converted to an acting authority system, the presidential office, which is supposed to assist the president in his duties, will also be instructed by Prime Minister Han.

It is known that the President's Office has even considered the situation of the acting authority system while consulting with the Prime Minister's Office in preparation for this case.President

Yoon can live in Hannam-dong's official residence as long as he maintains his status as president even after he is suspended from office, and he will also maintain respect for the president, including official cars and security guards.

As the impeachment bill is passed, President Yoon is expected to actively respond to the investigation into the alleged rebellion with the Constitutional Court judge.In his fourth statement on the emergency martial law issue, President Yun

vowed to stand up to it confidently, whether impeached or investigated, and
It is also expected to consider the fact that the Constitutional Court was not willing to protect the Constitution because it did not respond to the prosecution and the independent counsel's investigation during the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye

So far, I'm YTN Cho Yong-sung in the presidential office in Yongsan.
