SENATOR Imee Marcos has confirmed the existence of a draft Senate resolution seeking the effective dismissal of the impeachment complaint filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
While acknowledging multiple versions of the resolution are circulating, Marcos described the draft as one of several attempts to find a legally sound solution that would effectively end the case without procedural flaws.
In a text message, Marcos stated that the draft resolution represents one of several approaches being considered, each with varying objectives.
She emphasized the ongoing efforts to craft a resolution that is both legally sound and effective in achieving its goal of ending the impeachment proceedings. The senator did not provide specifics about the content of the draft resolution or the timeline for its potential introduction to the Senate.
The confirmation of the draft resolution comes amidst ongoing debate surrounding the impeachment complaint against Duterte.
The exact legal mechanism the draft resolution would employ to achieve a “de facto dismissal” remains unclear, but its existence suggests a significant effort within the Senate to prevent the impeachment case from proceeding further.
The move is likely to spark further debate and scrutiny, particularly given the political sensitivities surrounding the case.Share
