SEOUL, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- South Korea's National Assembly legislature has voted to impeach President Park Geun-hye over a corruption scandal that has lasted for months and led to massive protests.
The unicameral parliament voted 234 to 56 on Friday to remove Park -- meaning members of her ruling Saenuri Party voted against her. South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn will step in as interim president.
