With the conclusion of the confirmation hearing of the three candidates for constitutional judges recommended by the National Assembly, the biggest concern has emerged whether acting president Han Deok-soo will appoint them.

So far, the power of the people has been that the acting president does not have the right to appoint a constitutional judge, so what do you think Kwon Young-se, who will lead the party as the new emergency committee chairman?

As early as tomorrow (26th), the National Assembly will propose and deal with the selection of candidates for constitutional judges, Jeong Gye-seon, Ma Eun-hyuk, and Cho Han-chang, which are recommended by the ruling and opposition parties, at the plenary session.

With the approval of the Democratic Party of Korea, which has a majority of seats, the threshold of the National Assembly is expected to be crossed without difficulty, and the question is whether Acting President Han Deok-soo will exercise his right to appoint.

First of all, all the candidates for the Constitutional Court are in the position that there is no problem with the exercise of the acting president's right to appoint.

As it is recommended by the National Assembly, not the president, the acting authority can exercise the "passive right to appoint".

[Cho Han-chang / Candidates for Constitutional Court (last 24th): I think it is right for the acting president to appoint three people elected by the National Assembly (in accordance with the constitutional regulations).]

The Democratic Party of Korea and National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik also argue that the Constitutional Court should be normalized to a nine-member system as soon as possible.

[Won-Sik Woo/ Speaker of the National Assembly (last 24th): Giving a letter of appointment to a constitutional judge elected by the National Assembly cannot be the subject of political negotiations.]

On the other hand, the power of the people is confronting that the acting president cannot exercise the right to appoint the president instead.

There was also a logic that the National Assembly, which is in charge of the impeachment of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol, recommends a constitutional judge, which is the same as a prosecutor choosing a judge.

[Kwon Sung-dong / People's Power Floor Leader (last 22nd): To recommend another judge to judge the impeachment motion, to appoint is the same as a prosecutor choosing a judge for the case he prosecutes.]

However, there are many criticisms that the People's Power is interpreting the "acting authority" in that it urged acting Han Deok-soo to use the right to request reconsideration, or veto, in various controversial bills.

This is why some point out that it is a trick to lead the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol in a somewhat advantageous way by maintaining the current "six-member system" of constitutional judges.

However, the choice of lawmaker Kwon Young-se, who will take over the party and participate in the ruling and opposition party government consultative body, remains a variable.

Kwon Young-se also emphasized "renewal" along with stability shortly after the appointment of the emergency committee chairman, drawing attention to what position he will take on the appointment of constitutional judges.
