브레이크뉴스 임국정 기자 = 여당인 국민의힘이 27일 야당 주도로 국회를 통과한 '한덕수 대통령 권한대행 탄핵소추안'과 관련해 권한쟁의심판 청구 및 효력정지가처분 신청을 했다. 청구인은 국회의원 권성동(당 대표 권한대행 겸 원내대표) 등 108인, 피청구인은 우원식 국회의장이다.

주진우 국민의힘 법률자문위원장은 이날 언론 알림을 통해 "피청구인 국회의장이 국회 본회의에 상정된 '국무총리(한덕수) 탄핵안'을 가결 선포한 행위 및 소추의결서를 한 권한대행 겸 총리에게 송달한 행위와 관련해, 국민의힘은 권한쟁의심판과 효력정지가처분을 신청했다"라고 밝혔다. 국민의힘은 이날 헌법재판소 측에 관련 서류 제출을 마쳤다.

주 위원장은 "한 총리에 대한 탄핵 사유는 헌법상 탄핵 요건을 충족하지 못하며, 탄핵 사유 자체는 법률적·헌법적인 위반이 전혀 없다"라며 "총리로서 법률안 거부권(재의요구권) 행사 건의, 비상계엄 국무회의 심의 반대, 대통령 권한대행으로서 헌법재판관 임명 보류 등은 헌법과 법률에 따라 정당하게 수행한 직무이지 탄핵 사유라 할 수 없음이 명백하다"라고 주장했다.

이어 "한 총리가 대통령 권한대행의 지위를 겸하고 있음에도 불구하고, 피청구인이 탄핵안에 대해 대통령에 준하는 가중 탄핵정족수를 적용하지 않은 것은 중대한 위헌적 해석"이라며 "피청구인의 이 같은 행위는 청구인들의 탄핵안 심의·표결권을 침해하며, 국민대표권을 훼손한다"라고 덧붙였다.

그러면서 "피청구인의 행위는 원천 무효로서 청구인들의 국민대표권 및 탄핵안 심의·표결권을 중대하게 침해했으며, 헌법과 국회법을 위반한 행위로 무효 선언 및 효력 정지가 필요하다"라고 전했다.

앞서 우 국회의장은 이날 오후 열린 본회의에서 한 권한대행 탄핵안의 의결정족수를 대통령에 준하는 '재적의원(300명) 3분의 2 이상'이 아닌, '재적의원 과반수'로 규정했으며, 해당 기준에 따라 탄핵안은 결국 가결 처리됐다.

People Power Party files for a dispute over authority and an injunction to suspend the effect of the impeachment bill against Acting President Han Duck-soo

People Power Party Legal Advisory Committee Chairman Joo Jin-woo: "Prime Minister Han's impeachment grounds do not meet the constitutional requirements for impeachment"

Break News, Im Guk-jeong reporter = The ruling People Power Party filed a dispute over authority and an injunction to suspend the effect of the impeachment bill against Acting President Han Duck-soo, which was passed by the National Assembly under the leadership of the opposition party on the 27th. The petitioners are 108 people including National Assembly member Kwon Seong-dong (acting party leader and floor leader), and the respondent is National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik.

People Power Party Legal Advisory Committee Chairman Joo Jin-woo announced in a press release on the same day, “The People Power Party has filed for a dispute over authority and an injunction to suspend the effect of the act of the accused National Assembly Speaker declaring the ‘Impeachment Bill of Prime Minister (Han Deok-soo)’ submitted to the National Assembly plenary session and sending the impeachment resolution to the Acting Prime Minister.” The People Power Party completed submitting related documents to the Constitutional Court on the same day.

Chairman Joo asserted, “The grounds for impeachment against Prime Minister Han do not meet the requirements for impeachment under the Constitution, and the grounds for impeachment themselves do not violate any legal or constitutional laws at all,” and “It is clear that the exercise of the veto right (request for reconsideration) of the bill as the Prime Minister, the opposition to the deliberation of the State Council under martial law, and the suspension of the appointment of Constitutional Court justices as the Acting President were duties properly performed in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and cannot be considered grounds for impeachment.”

He added, "Despite Prime Minister Han also holding the position of Acting President, the defendant did not apply the weighted impeachment quorum equivalent to that of the President for the impeachment motion, which is a serious unconstitutional interpretation." He also said, "The defendant's actions infringe upon the plaintiffs' right to deliberate and vote on the impeachment motion and undermine the right to represent the people."

He then said, "The defendant's actions are fundamentally invalid and have seriously infringed upon the plaintiffs' right to represent the people and the right to deliberate and vote on the impeachment motion. They are acts that violate the Constitution and the National Assembly Act and require a declaration of invalidity and suspension of effect."

Earlier, Speaker Woo stipulated in the plenary session held that afternoon that the quorum for the impeachment motion against Acting President Han was not 'more than two-thirds of the total number of members (300 members)' equivalent to that of the President, but 'a majority of the total number of members.' The impeachment motion was eventually passed in accordance with that standard.
