Ruling party floor leader apologizes to president for upheaval over parliamentar

Ruling Saenuri Party Floor Leader Yoo Seong-min has publicly apologized to the president for the latest political upheaval over revisions to a controversial parliamentary bill. A day after President Park vetoed the revised parliamentary bill,... even accusing the floor leader of doing politics for personal interests,... Yoo said he was sorry but that he, of all people, earnestly hopes for the success of the president and her administration. The president said the bill, which would have given parliament power to request changes to ordinances, could be unconstitutional. The Saenuri floor leader also vowed to normalize the party′s relations with the presidential office and the government. But ruling party lawmakers close to the president are pressuring Yoo to step down, and there is speculation some members of the party′s supreme council may withdraw, which will deal a blow to the party leadership.
