You know a coup isn’t going to work when the military allows this vote to take place
Poor planning by the president, give this attempt a 2/10
It was such a bizarre move that I really don’t understand what it buys him or why he thought it would stand.
Under Korean law, it can (as it is here) be forced to be lifted with a majority vote in Parliament – which the opposition party he’s targeting has a majority in. But even if they didn’t, even his own party leadership denounced the declaration.
There’s no way it was ever going to not be immediately voted on to be lifted.
Martial Law, you say?
Oh, it’s already been voted down, you say?
Another South Korea president is going to jail soon.
Name a more iconic duo than South Korean President and serving jail time
Shortest martial law ever
There’s no coming back for that guy. I honestly thought, N.Korea did something stupid and there could be a war break out. I just learned about the story from another thread,and it’s incredibly odd why he did this. It’s like using the final boss item from your power list, and he got dunked on. What an embarrassment!!!
Can they impeach him now ? Does S. Korea have an impeachment process in their system?
We will watch this guy’s Korea with great interest…..
south korea’s presidency pipeline to prison will be going strong
looking forward to seeing him charged and locked up
So that’s what “Checks and Balances” actually looks like *average American right now
jeez buddy didn’t even get support from his own party. is this the shortest coup attempt in history? lol what even was the point
As an American, it baffles me how quickly the Korean governing body got together to vote down something that got announced literally 4 hours ago lol
Coup d’etat Any% speedrun
Is this the first time there’s been a unanimous parliamentary vote in history?
Another victory for team Nothing Ever Happens
So I take it the military was in site to make sure democracy continues. Good job!
Am I out of touch?
No, it’s all the members of Parliament who are wrong!
I hope when Trump announces it the Republicans have the courage to do this, thought I am 100% sure it won’t be a 100%, some will willingly support the martial law
Probably an understatement to say this is getting interesting.
Shortest martial law in history L+Ratio. It’s crazy that the military followed through with this crackpots martial law order considering his approval rating is at 19% and his martial law order had absolutely 0 basis. He essentially was saying the opposition party who hold the majority of the parliament seats were secretly North Korean supporters.
That’s gonna be a no for me dawg
-parliament
Good, WTF.
It only matters once the military agrees to abide by it and disregard the Presidents order (which legally they are supposed to. But whatever they decide to so will ultimately end up being the law.)
Parliament be like:
“I SAID BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH.”
Trump big sad over this im sure
