F. On the argument that the inquiry and discussion process was lacking The respondent argues that the forcefully performed voting with a mere distribution of the printed materials instead of the explanation of the purpose by the assemblyperson who proposed the impeachment motion, without any inquiry or discussion process, in violation of Article 93 of the National Assembly Act, impeded the assemblypersons' right to inquire and discuss.

However, the National Assembly Act does not contain any express provision regarding such and merely - 164 -
