STORYLINE:
On the streets in central Seoul on Sunday, residents were calm following the South Korean parliament’s historic impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.
On Saturday, the National Assembly passed the motion 204-85.
Office worker Koo Ha Kyung said the result of the parliamentary vote was "inevitable."
Yoon’s powers will be suspended until the court rules on the case, either removing Yoon from office or restoring his powers.
The court has up to 180 to decide, and if he’s dismissed, a national election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days.
Yoon’s presidential powers and duties were subsequently suspended and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the country’s No. 2 official, took over presidential powers later the day.
