윤석열 대통령이 9일(한국시간) 국무회의에서 의결된 '해병대원 순직 사건 특별검사 임명법(채해병특검법)'에 대해 재의요구권(거부권)을 행사했다.
나토(NATO·북대서양조약기구) 정상회의 참석에 앞서 미국 하와이주 호놀룰루를 방문 중인 윤 대통령은 8일(현지시간) 현지에서 전자결재로 '채해병특검법' 재의요구안을 재가했다
이는 윤 대통령 취임 후 15번째 거부권 행사인 가운데 지난 5월 21대 국회에서 통과된 '채해병특검법'에도 이미 한차례 거부권을 행사한 바 있다.
대통령실은 "어제 발표된 경찰 수사 결과로 실체적 진실·책임소재가 밝혀진 상황에서 야당이 일방적 밀어붙인 순직 해병특검법은 이제 철회돼야 한다"며 "나라 부름을 받고 임무를 수행하다 사망한 해병의 안타까운 순직을 정치적 의도를 갖고 악용하는 일도 더 이상 없어야 한다"고 전했다.

President Yoon Seok-yeol exercised his right to reconsider (veto) the 'Act on Appointment of Special Prosecutors in Cases of Marine Corps Deaths in the Line of Duty (Special Prosecutor Chae Act)' approved at the Cabinet meeting on the 9th (Korean time).
President Yoon, who is visiting Honolulu, Hawaii, USA prior to attending the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) summit, approved the request for reconsideration of the 'Special Prosecutor Chae Marine Act' through electronic approval there on the 8th (local time).
This is President Yoon's 15th veto since his inauguration, and he has already vetoed the 'Chae Marine Special Prosecutor Act' passed by the 21st National Assembly in May.
The President's Office said, "As the actual truth and responsibility have been revealed as a result of the police investigation announced yesterday, the Act on Special Prosecutors for Marines in the Line of Duty, which was unilaterally pushed by the opposition party, must now be withdrawn." It added, "It is unfortunate that the Marine died while performing his duty after being called to his country." “There should no longer be any misuse for political purposes,” he said.
