Impeachment Case against Chief Justice Renato Corona Ruled
So, could this be the end of Chief Justice Renato Corona in the
Supreme Court office? More than 130 members of the congress signed to file a
complaint of an impeachment case against Chief Justice Corona. Note that it needs
1/3 of the votes from the congress to pursue the case. Since the 1/3 of the
vote was met in the congress, thus, Chief Justice Corona is already impeached
in the House of the Representative. The case is now lifted to the House of the
Senate. Again, it needs 1/3 of the vote from the body (Senators) to impeach finally the chief justice.
Corona was
accused of three impeachable grounds: graft and corruption, culpable violation
of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust.
