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. Article 93 of the National Assembly Act provides that, 'with respect to such subject matters which have not been examined by a committee, the proponent of such matter should explain its purpose.' The above minutes of the National Assembly general meeting indicate that, in the deliberation process for the impeachment motion in the instant case, a 'document' was substituted for the proponent's explanation of the purpose.

With the self-regulating authority and the legal interpretation of the National Assembly to be respected, such interpretation of the law cannot be deemed as arbitrary or incorrect. G.

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