In a matter of hours, South Koreans will see whether suspended President Park Geun-hye gets booted from office.

Eight judges in the Constitutional Court of Korea will rule at 11 a.m. on the validity of a motion to impeach Park, who has been suspended since parliament voted to oust her in December. At least six affirmative votes are needed to confirm the impeachment.
