대통령의 법률안 거부권 행사와 국회의 재의(再議) 과정에 대한 연구: 부산정치파동 전후 이승만 대통령과 제2대 국회(1950-1954)의 관계를 중심으로

This study examines the relationship between President Syngman Rhee and the 2nd National Assembly of South Korea (1950-1954) by analyzing cases of presidential vetoes and parliamentary reconsideration, in the context of the 1952 Busan Political Crisis. The crisis led to significant changes in political factions within the Assembly and altered how vetoed bills were handled. Before the crisis, the National Assembly consistently passed all bills that had been vetoed by the President, but afterward, some were rejected. Nevertheless, the Assembly continued to play a crucial role in protecting citizens’ rights during wartime and maintaining oversight of the President by passing legislation after the President’s vetoes. Although Rhee's influence over the National Assembly increased after the crisis, he could not fully control the his ruling party and the Assembly. Thus, the Busan Political Crisis did not directly cause the changes in the relationship between the President and the legislature, as other studies have suggested. Instead, the crisis led to a realignment within the Assembly, consolidating the pro-Rhee faction and dividing members into pro-Rhee and anti-Rhee groups.
