S. Korean cabinet members submit resignations
"Seoul — President Roh Moo-hyun on Saturday rejected an offer from his Cabinet and presidential aides to resign amid a crisis over his leadership, but left open the possibility that he could quit if he determines that he no longer has the public's trust.

"If a president is sacrificed in the middle of his term and if that serves to straighten out South Korean politics, I think that is a bigger stride forward for the development of South Korean politics than the case in which the president simply completes his five-year term," Mr. Roh said at a news conference.

Mr. Roh, a former human rights lawyer who took office in February, said it was unclear whether the constitution allowed for a referendum to assess the public's confidence.

But he suggested that the law could be changed to enable such a vote to take place.
