Ask what Korea is talking about.

National Assembly Speaker Cho Jeong-sik said on Wednesday that a sitting president will not be eligible for a second term even if the Constitution is amended to allow future presidents to seek reelection. He cited Article 128, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which stipulates that amendments concerning presidential term extension or re-election do not apply to the president at the time of the proposal. Cho reaffirmed his commitment to pushing for constitutional revision and urged that the issue no longer be used as a political battleground. Yonhap and Korea Times report that he rejected opposition claims that the revision was aimed at allowing President Lee Jae Myung to seek a second term.
