The National Assembly on Monday sent the National Assembly Law revision bill to President Park GH after making a change mediated by National Assembly Speaker Chung UH. When the parliment passed the bill, which allows the legislative body to "demand" changes to government ordinances, Park said in no uncertain terms that she would veto the bill if it ever came to her. Citing the potential to wreak havoc in government and its unconstitutionability - Park insist that the revision would result in the legislative branch encroaching on the executive branch in breach of the principle of separation of power - Park has continued to resist the bill since it was passed at the end of May, along with the much sought-after civil service pension reform bill.
The compromise bill brokered by Chung replaces the word "demand" with "request". The revised wording says the parliment could "request" a revision of government ordinances, instead of "demand" revisions. The word "request" removes any question of the constitutionality of the National Assembly Law bill, according to Chung. Park has until June 30 to deliberate on the issue, either signing it into law or exercising her presidential veto and sending it back to the National Assembly for reconsiderarion. The bill is in her court. A Blue House official speaking with reporters said that there was only a change of one single word in the compromise bill and, based on that, there is no change in Cheong WaDae's position. It seems that Park is still adamant that the bill is unconstitutional
