WE URGE THE SENATE TO OBEY THE CONSTITUTION!
We, professors of the Graduate School of Law of 快猫短视频, in our individual capacities, respectfully urge Senate of the Philippines to proceed with the trial of the Vice-President in accordance with Article XI of the Constitution.
The following points bear careful consideration:
First: The great branches of government must lead the whole of the nation in the punctilious observance of the commands of the Constitution. Article XI is clear that when the verified complaint is endorsed by at least one-third of the members of the House of Representatives, trial by the Seante must thereupon (forthwith) proceed. The required number has been realized. Senate must proceed with the trial!
Second: There is no sound constitutional and legal basis for any delay in the trial. In fact, an undue delay sends the signal to the nation that mandated processes are thwarted for ulterior ends.
Third: Accountability is crucial to the workings of a government that should be able to earn the respect and trust of citizens. The trial is a measure of accountability. The problem with government, and the resulting lack of public trust in it, has to do with deficits in measures of accountability.
We therefore urge Senate to convene as ordained by the Constitution and to proceed with the impeachment trial of the Vice-President.
