Which government branch is responsible for creating the rules on impeachment?
Congress is the branch of government entrusted with creating the procedural rules regarding impeachment. It is explicitly mandated to promulgate its rules on impeachment to effectively carry out the constitutional process. Both the House and the Senate create rules corresponding to their respective roles in initiating and trying the cases. This directive for rule-making is found in Article XI, Section 3, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “(8) The Congress shall promulgate its rules on impeachment to effectively carry out the purpose of this section.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
