🔴LIVE NOW:Top Lawyers on Fire Contradicts House Justice No Vote for VP Sara Impeachment in Senate

The Senate could not convene as an impeachment court if the impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte reaches the chamber, Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson said. Lacson noted that while the Constitution directs the Senate to act on impeachment cases, the body could first decide, whether to formally convene as an impeachment court.He said that the Senate, as a collegial body, ultimately follows the will of the majority, raising the possibility that the process could be delayed or even challenged.Yun ang argument na ‘di papayag na ‘di mag-convene. Constitutionality ang argument na dapat mag-convene. Sabi ng constitution, mag-constitute kayo as an imeapchement court as forthwith. Pwede magdala ng kaso sa SC. Mag-rule ang SC na mag-convene kayo,he said Senator Robin Padilla earlier said that members of the minority bloc may oppose the convening, while Senate leaders are preparing for such a scenario.Lacson added that majority support under Senate President Tito Sotto remains key to ensuring the trial proceeds, with discussions also underway on designating Sen. Kiko Pangilinan as impeachment manager to help manage the proceedings.
