South Korean lawmakers on Saturday impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law bid, with the opposition declaring a "victory of the people".
The vote took place as hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Seoul in rival rallies for and against Yoon, who launched a failed attempt to impose martial law on December 3.
Out of 300 lawmakers, 204 voted to impeach the president on allegations of insurrection while 85 voted against. Three abstained, with eight votes nullified.
With the impeachment, Yoon has been suspended from office while South Korea's Constitutional Court deliberates on the vote.
The court has 180 days to rule on Yoon's future.
If it backs his removal, Yoon will become the second president in South Korean history to be successfully impeached.

Something tells me American accented birdies tweeted such bone headed foolishness into the President’s ear.
More like birds of a different feather.
Foolish behavior by Yoon aside, I believe Yoon is anti CCP while our American birdies are highly compromised by the CCP.
Yoon is MAKGA.
Fighting communist infiltration.
Fighting communist infiltration.
But he does it so inartfully he might as well be a saboteur against the anti-Communist cause. He has very little support left in South Korea.
You need charismatic leadership to win a existential battle, not just the next old guy in line whose turn it is.
I think the correct acronym should be MSKGA (make South Korea great again).
It does seem the martial law. was a tactical mistake, yes.
