President Yoon Seok-yeol said today (13th) in relation to the opposition Democratic Party's push to revise the National Assembly Act to control the government's enforcement ordinance, "I think that having the right to request amendments to the enforcement ordinance is highly unconstitutional."
On the way to the Yongsan government building in the morning of the same day, President Yoon responded to a reporter's question about 'there are some observations that he will veto the bill as president', saying, "I have to see what kind of bill it is."
It is interpreted that the Democratic Party clearly opposes the legislative process and suggests the possibility of exercising the veto right.
"For example, if the contents of the enforcement ordinance go against the purpose of the law, the National Assembly can make the law more specific or amend, and if the enforcement ordinance violates the effect of the law, it can be invalidated," said President Yoon.
"The enforcement ordinance is decided by the president, and the method of solving the problems of the enforcement ordinance must be done in accordance with the methods and procedures stipulated in the constitution," he added.
Rep. Jo Eung-cheon of the Democratic Party of Korea (Democratic Party) said on the same day that the National Assembly Act amendment bill that allows the National Assembly Standing Committee to request amendments or changes to the Presidential Decree and the Prime Minister's Decree and Minor Decree (enforcement rules) from the head of the competent administrative agency if the Standing Committee of the National Assembly determines that the Presidential Decree is contrary to the purpose of the law. It is known that the representative will propose.
