What is the required vote in the Senate to successfully convict an impeached official?
To convict any person during an impeachment trial, a highly stringent voting threshold must be met. No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate. This supermajority requirement ensures that convictions are based on overwhelming consensus rather than mere partisan politics. This requirement for conviction is codified in Article XI, Section 3, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
