@bnc.ph: AZCUNA: "THEY HAVE THE POWER TO INTERPRET THE CONSTITUTION" ON SENATE AUTHORITY The question of how senators should be counted in an impeachment case also raises an issue of constitutional interpretation. Speaking on #OnPoint, retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Adolfo Azcuna says the Senate has the authority to interpret the Constitution in exercising its impeachment function, but cautions that an interpretation should not depart too far from the Constitution's wording.

Is she not understanding it? they can interpret but they have no power to chanhe the threshold right there and then, they need to amend it via there interpretation, but still for this case they need to follow the constitution as it is now.

I give his words more weight as he is not a politician like Davide and is a Former Justice of the Supreme Court and one of the framers of the 1987 Constitution.

Azcuna is right, the constitution did not say ‘2/3 of those who participated’ instead it was said ‘2/3 of all members of the senate’

Dapat iallow pa dn na bumoto yung mga nakakulong. Dhil lumalabas lng na paraan ng govt ni BBM na gipitin ang ibang senador para mgkaroon ng ganitong problema sa Threshold na bilang sa pagboto

In short, senate can have their own interpretation but they can't go overboard. If they depart from the letters of the constitution too much there may be grave abuse of discretion like what CJ Puno said.

i agree there's no need to change the treshhold since if its really an impartial hearing they have enough senators to convict or acquit. they just want to adjust since from the start its not a hearing and everyone of them already cast there vote but we all know if nothing change the results will most likely acquital. hence this discussion was brought up.
