IMPEACHMENT WATCH — DAY 29
The impeachment trial took a dramatic turn today — and this time, it wasn't about witnesses or evidence.
It was about the MATH.
The Senate debated and ultimately adopted a new way of determining the number of votes needed to convict Vice President Sara Duterte.
With four senators not participating, the number of senators being counted for purposes of the vote effectively becomes 20.
Two-thirds of 20 is 13.33, which means the threshold is rounded up to 14 votes.
That means the previously discussed 16-vote threshold is now 14.
So what does this mean for the impeachment trial?
In today's Impeachment Watch, we'll break down the highlights of the Senate's heated debate, explain exactly how the new numbers were arrived at, and look at the arguments made by both the majority and minority senators.
But the bigger questions are what happens NEXT.
🔴 What will Sara Duterte's defense team do?
🔴 Will the minority senators participate in the eventual vote?
🔴 Is it fair to change the effective conviction threshold in the middle of an impeachment trial?
🔴 Does the Senate have the constitutional authority to do this?
🔴 And will the Supreme Court eventually be asked to intervene?
The impeachment trial has now entered a very different phase — one where the rules governing the final vote could be just as important as the evidence presented during the trial.
I'll break down what happened today, the arguments on both sides, and what this potentially means for the next stage of the impeachment proceedings.
