People Power Party Files Constitutional Dispute over Presidential Office’s Request for Supreme Court Justice Re-nomination
The People Power Party has decided to file a constitutional dispute after the presidential office rejected the Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hui-dae's nomination of a Supreme Court Justice and demanded a re-nomination.
On the 20th, the People Power Party announced, "Regarding President Lee Jaemyung's failure to submit the motion for approval of the Supreme Court Justice nominee Son Bong-gi and the demand for re-nomination, which infringes upon the National Assembly's constitutional authority to consent to the appointment of Supreme Court Justices and the right of lawmakers to deliberate and vote, we plan to submit a petition for a constitutional dispute to the Constitutional Court on the 21st."
Previously, on August 28, the presidential office demanded a re-nomination, citing that Chief Justice Cho submitted a written nomination unilaterally and without prior consultation. In addition, the presidential office did not submit to the National Assembly the motion for appointment approval regarding Son Bong-gi, Chief Judge at Daegu District Court, who was nominated by Chief Justice Cho.

The People Power Party considers the presidential office's demand for a re-nomination to be unconstitutional. The party argues that while the Constitution clearly stipulates the Chief Justice's authority to nominate candidates, prior consultation with the presidential office before nomination is merely customary and not a legal requirement.
