The President of the Republic
of Korea (Hangul: 대한민국 대통령; Hanja: 大韓民國 大統領) is, according to the South Korean constitution,
the chairperson of the cabinet, the chief executive of
the government, commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the head of state of South Korea.
The Constitution and the amended Presidential Election Act of 1987 provide for
election of the president by direct, secret ballot, ending sixteen years of
indirect presidential elections under the preceding two governments. The
president is directly elected to a five-year term, with no possibility of
re-election. If a presidential vacancy should occur, a successor must be
elected within sixty days, during which time presidential duties are to be
performed by the prime minister or other senior
cabinet members in the order of priority as determined by law. While in office,
the chief executive lives in Cheong Wa Dae (the
"Blue House"), and is exempt from criminal liability (except for
insurrection or treason).
Moon Jae-in,
former human rights lawyer and chief of staff to
then-President Roh Moo-hyun, assumed post of President of
South Korea on 10 May 2017 immediately upon being elected with a
plurality of 41.1%, in contrast to 24.0% and 21.4% won by his major opponents,
conservative Hong Joon-pyo and centrist Ahn Cheol-soo,
respectively.
