Attention is focusing on the extent to which Prime Minister Han will play his role as an acting president in the future.

As there is no clear regulation on the scope of the agency's work in the law, the opinion that it will only be a passive exercise of authority is prevailing.

However, whether or not to exercise the veto is likely to be an issue in the political world.

Prime Minister Han has no choice but to pay close attention to whether he will veto controversial bills handled by the opposition party alone, such as the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act.

Earlier, in a parliamentary response, Han said he would consider whether he had the right to veto if he took over as an acting president.

For this reason, the Democratic Party is also considering whether to pursue impeachment against Prime Minister Han.
