Petition Filed to Compel Senate to Convene as Impeachment Court for VP Sara Duterte
A petition for mandamus has been filed before the Supreme Court (SC) seeking to compel the Senate to immediately convene as an impeachment court and begin the trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Filed on Friday by lawyer Catalino Generillo Jr., the 22-page petition argues that the Constitution does not allow the Senate to delay its duty to act on an impeachment complaint, even during a legislative recess. Generillo asserts that once the House of Representatives transmits the Articles of Impeachment, the Senate must promptly constitute itself as an impeachment court and proceed with the trial.
The petition raises a fundamental legal question regarding the Senate's constitutional obligations in impeachment proceedings. Generillo contends that failure to convene immediately violates the separation of powers and undermines the checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution.
While the Senate has yet to formally respond, the petition could set a crucial legal precedent on whether legislative bodies can defer their duties under the impeachment process. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter will likely have far-reaching implications on constitutional law and the impeachment process in the country.
