Korea’s Political System.
Let me introduce the Korean Political system.Korea’s political system has three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch
First of all, there is the executive branch, which the president is head of. The president can appoint the prime minister by the consent of the national assembly. The president is elected, by direct popular vote, for five years. It is different from the American political system because the president of the United States can be re-elected, by the voters, after their first term.
Next, there is the legislative branch. It consists of The National Assembly which has three hundred members of representatives. They are elected by direct vote for four years. The National Assembly can impeach the president when there are more then two-thirds of agreement votes. And the impeachment could be determined by the constitutional court. For example, Park Gun Hye, who is the former president, was impeached by the consent of the constitutional court because of her political scandal. The former president was involving with Choi Sun Sil, who was the secret advisor, and had tremendous power, second after the president. It might even be more authority than the president.
Third is the Judicial branch. The South Korean judiciary is independent of the other two branches. The highest judiciary body is the Supreme Court, whose justices are appointed by the president with the consent of the National Assembly.
