News Post Cycle 9

The south korean presidential scandal has turned out even more interesting than when i wrote about it a few weeks back. In my previous blog post the president seemed to be standing up against people wanting to impeach her. Now however she has stated that if the vote is made by lawmakers, she will resign. a 2/3 vote is needed by the lawmakes to pass with the impeachment which is very clever on the presidents part as they are just as likely to not pass a vote as they are to pass one. But according to this article over 40 lawmakes have indicated they would support it, which would go over the 2/3 votes needed. But there is currently a action going underway which is proposed to have the president able to serve 2 4 year terms like the United States instead of 1 five year term which South Korea currently has. If that passes the president will get a more dignified exit which is why she is trying to distract people from her scandal.
