Acting South Korea president faces impeachment motion

Government

Dec. 26 (UPI) -- South Korea's opposition Democratic Party submitted an impeachment motion against embattled acting President Han Duck-soo on Thursday in the latest challenge to the country's leadership structure. Han had refused to fill positions in the Constitutional Court until the country's opposition political parties made compromises with his government. The opposition parties, which have control of the National Assembly, want Han to appoint three judicial nominees they have approved.
