브레이크뉴스 정명훈 기자= 권성동 국민의힘 원내대표는 13일 더불어민주당이 행정입법권을 통제하는 내용의 국회법 개정안을 추진하는데 대해 "반헌법적"이라고 맹비판했다.
권성동 원내대표는 이날 국회에서 열린 최고위원회의에서 "민주당이 최근 제출한, 행정입법권을 통제하는 내용의 국회법 개정안은 예산편성권을 국회로 가져온다는 주장만큼 반헌법적이다. 3권분립 정신을 무너뜨리겠다는 것"이라며 밝혔다.
그는 "민주당은 문재인 정권 5년간 행정부를 견제, 감시하기는 커녕 국회를 청와대 출장소로 전락시켰다"면서 "이젠 야당이 되자마자 행정부를 통제하기 위한 모든 수단을 강구하고 있다"고 주장했다.
이어 "지난 대선 당시 '소수정당 식물 대통령'을 운운했듯이 거대의석으로 사사건건 새 정부의 발목을 잡겠다는 다수당의 폭거"라며 "민주당이 대선에서 패배하자 후반기 법사위원장을 국민의힘이 맡기로 한 여야 합의를 뒤엎은 이유도 다르지 않을 것"이라고 지적했다.
그러면서 "당리당략에 따라 헌법파괴를 서슴지 않는 지금의 민주당이 국회의장과 법사위원장을 모두 독식한다면 헌법파괴 입법독재를 막을 방법이 없다. 임대차3법이 그러했듯 입법권 남용의 피해는 다수 국민에게 돌아갈 것"이라고 덧붙였다.
이와 관련 윤석열 대통령도 우려를 나타냈다.
윤석열 대통령은 이날 용산 대통령실 청사 출근길에 기자들과 만나 "어떤 법률안인지 한번 봐야하지만, 언론에 나온 것처럼 시행령에 대해 수정 요구를 가진다는 것은 위헌소지가 많다고 본다"며 "시행령 내용이 법률의 취지를 위반한다면, 법률을 구체화한다거나 개정해서 시행령을 무효화할 수 있지 않느냐. 그런 방식이면 모르겠지만, 시행령은 대통령이 정하는 것이고 헌법에 정해져 있는 절차와 방식대로 하면 된다고 생각한다"고 말했다.
한편 조응천 민주당 의원은 정부가 대통령령 등 시행령을 통해 국회를 우회하는 것을 막기 위해 국회가 시행령 및 시행규칙의 수정 또는 변경을 요청할 수 있는 내용을 담은 국회법 개정안을 대표발의할 예정이다. 민주당은 이 개정안을 당론으로 추진해 국회 본회의를 통과시킬 계획이다.

Kwon Sung-dong pushed for control of the Democratic Party's "administrative legislative power," saying, "Anti-constitutional..."the majority's attack
President Yoon Seok-yeol is also concerned, "Demand for revision of the enforcement ordinance is unconstitutional."

Kwon Sung-dong, floor leader of the People's Power, blasted the Democratic Party of Korea's push to revise the National Assembly Act, which controls administrative legislative rights, as "anti-constitutional."
Kwon Sung-dong, floor leader of the National Assembly, said at a Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, "The recent revision of the National Assembly Act, which the Democratic Party of Korea submitted, is as anti-constitutional as the claim that it brings the right to budget." We will break the spirit of separation of powers," he said.
Rather than checking and monitoring the administration for five years under the Moon Jae In administration, the Democratic Party has reduced the National Assembly to a branch office at the Blue House, he said. "Now, as soon as we become the opposition party, we are taking all measures to control the administration."
"As the president of the minor amendment party called for the plant president during the last presidential election, the majority of the party said it would hold back the new government with a huge seat," he said. "The reason why the ruling and opposition parties overturned the ruling party's agreement to head the judiciary in the presidential election."
"If the current Democratic Party, which does not hesitate to destroy the Constitution according to party politics, monopolizes both the speaker and the judiciary committee chairman, there is no way to prevent the legislative dictatorship of the destruction of the Constitution. As with the Lease 3 Act, the abuse of legislative power will go to the majority of the people, he added.
President Yoon Seok-yeol also expressed concern about this. President Yoon Seok-yeol told reporters on his way to the Yongsan presidential office building, "We need to see what kind of bill it is, but I think it is unconstitutional to have a request for amendment to the enforcement ordinance," adding, "If the enforcement ordinance violates the purpose of the law, can't it be invalidated?" I don't know if it's that way, but I think the enforcement ordinance is set by the president and we can follow the procedures and methods set by the Constitution," he said.
Meanwhile, Democratic Party lawmaker Cho Eung-cheon will propose a revision to the National Assembly Act, which includes the National Assembly's request to revise or change enforcement ordinances and enforcement rules to prevent the government from bypassing the National Assembly through enforcement ordinances. The main opposition Democratic Party plans to push the revision bill through a plenary session of the National Assembly.
