      Seems like the balances of power worked properly here, though. The president went rogue, and the rest of the government told him to get fucked.

      Even a lot of parliamentary systems have presidents, with similar controls. The problem with the US is that the legislature has been enabling executive power creep for centuries. If they’re already not acting in good faith, no amount of social rules will keep them in check.

    They’re referring to South Korea, but trying to push the narrative that there is only 1 korea.

      You were confused? In this story about democratically electing parliaments and presidents, you needed it clarified whether they were talking about North Korea or South Korea?

      Both Koreas agree that there is only one Korea. Everything else is different between the regimes but they agree on that point.

      In South Korea, they just call it Korea.

      Like people from the USA call their country just “America”.

      It is quite common for people to refer to South Korea as just korea as I’ve heard time and time again. There is also the fact that in this context, the south is implied even just in the post title alone.
