President Park vetoes law giving parliament power to request ordinance change

Our top story this afternoon.... President Park Geun－hye has vetoed revisions to the National Assembly law that gives the parliament power to request changes to ordinances， including presidential orders. At a meeting earlier today， the Cabinet decided to call on the Assembly to re－discuss the disputed bill， which the president argues could be unconstitutional. At the start of the meeting，... President Park raised concerns about the bill infringing on both the government′s legislative and the judiciary′s reviewing authorities， and ultimately the separation of powers as regulated by the Constitution. The president also took aim at both rival parties for neglecting bills aimed at improving the people′s livelihoods， and rather than supporting the government′s policies， repeatedly criticizing and causing friction with the government. This is the first time President Park has vetoed an Assembly－approved bill. The government is soon expected to officially request the parliament reconsider it.
