Prosecutors are investigating President Yoon Suk-yeol for possible treason after the prime minister and ruling party leader suggested Yoon is no longer involved in day-to-day governance of the country.
South Korea now faces a constitutional crisis stemming from what experts describe as a legal loophole the People Power Party (PPP) is exploiting to compel Yoon to step down, but what this means and how long it is supposed to take is unclear. There appears to be no clear command authority to respond to a North Korean attack or other crisis.
