[NYT] How the Impeachment of South Korea’s President Could Unfold

NYT 뉴욕타임즈 기사를 보다 현재 대통령 탄핵 절차가 어떻게 전개될 것인지에 관해 잘 정리된 자료가 있어 기록 차원에서 글을 남깁니다.

President Yoon Suk-Yeol of South Korea is facing proceedings that plunged the country into a political crisis.
대한민국의 윤석열 대통령이 국가를 정치적 위기로 몰아넣은 절차에 직면하고 있다.

Members of South Korea’s opposition submitted a motion on Wednesday to impeach Mr. Yoon.
한국 야당 의원들이 수요일에 윤 대통령의 탄핵안을 제출하였다.

Here’s how the process could unfold.

Only two previous presidents have faced impeachment proceedings in South Korea since the end of military rule in the 1980s.
1980년대 군사 통치가 끝난 이후 대한민국에서 두 명의 전직 대통령만이 탄핵 절차를 겪은 적이 있다.

A former leader of Mr. Yoon’s party, Park Geun-hye, was impeached and removed from office in 2017 on charges related to a sprawling corruption scandal.
윤 대통령의 정당의 전 지도자인 박근혜는 2017년 대규모 부패 스캔들과 관련된 혐의로 탄핵되어 직에서 물러났다.

And in 2004, Roh Moo-hyun was impeached on charges of illegal campaigning, but the Constitutional Court later overturned that decision and reinstated him as president.
2004년에는 노무현이 불법 선거운동 혐의로 탄핵되었으나, 헌법재판소가 그 결정을 뒤집어 대통령직에 복귀시켰다.
