Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero said Thursday (February 6) that "legally, an impeachment trial cannot be done" on Vice President Sara Duterte during the Congress session break.
More than 200 members of the House of Representatives on Wednesday signed an impeachment complaint against Duterte, paving the way for a Senate trial that could see her removed from office. But the Senate adjourned its plenary session on February 5 without tackling the articles of impeachment.
Escudero said the Senate secretariat would have to verify the signatures on the impeachment complaint and revise the rules. The revised rules will then have to be approved by the Senate, he said. He added that the earliest Senate action on the impeachment could come on June 2.
