STORYLINE:
Motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol was reported to the South Korean parliament on early Thursday morning.
By law, an impeachment motion must be put to a vote between 24 and 72 hours after the motion is reported to plenary session.
South Korea’s opposition parties submitted the motion to impeach the president over the shocking and short-lived declaration of martial law that drew heavily armed troops to encircle parliament before lawmakers climbed walls to reenter the building and unanimously voted to lift his order.
Impeaching Yoon Suk Yeol would require the support of two-thirds of parliament, and at least six justices of the nine-member Constitutional Court would have to endorse it to remove him.
The motion to impeach, submitted jointly by the main liberal opposition Democratic Party and five smaller opposition parties, could be put to a vote as early as Friday.
