South Korea's Parliament Impeach President

South Korea’s National Assembly impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on Saturday, leaving the nation without a strong elected leader to tackle challenges like a belligerent North Korea and deepening political polarization at home. Outside the legislature, people danced in the streets, celebrating Yoon’s suspension from office over his short-lived declaration of martial law as proof of the resilience of South Korean democracy. The impeachment created a political vacuum at the top the unelected prime minister is temporarily in charge and a new government cannot be born until the Constitutional Court decides whether to reinstate Yoon or formally oust him.
