The #SouthKorea #constitution has a provision (§77) allowing the President to declare #MartialLaw and allowing the National Assembly to reverse the President.

The US constitution has no such provision. If #Trump ever declares martial law in this country, that would be a coup d'état, not the exercise of a constitutional option like vetoing a piece of legislation. It would be an unconstitutional suspension of the constitution. It would be a high crime and misdemeanor.

Today South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared emergency martial law due to "anti-State" actors.

Who are the "anti-State"?

So far his order makes it clear, its any political party not aligned with President Yoon. He's closed down their National Assembly and wants direct control of all political media.

This appears to be a coup, not a legit emergency.
