Hello everyone I am
For me, two-thirds of 24 senators means 16 votes.
I would not automatically reduce 24 to 20 just because some senators are unavailable. The correct number depends on the Constitution, Senate rules, and the legal interpretation of who is counted for the vote.
For me, the important thing is that the final decision should follow the law, fairness, and due process—not assumptions.
Thank you for watching, and may justice and truth always prevail.

Hello Tanglers! I’m
For this topic, my understanding is that two-thirds of 24 senators is 16 votes.
The Philippine Constitution says that no person can be convicted in an impeachment trial without the concurrence of two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate.
So, my answer to the second question is No, not automatically.
If four senators are unable to participate, the Senate does not automatically become a 20-member Senate for purposes of calculating the constitutional threshold. The key question is how the phrase “two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate” should legally be interpreted.
That is why the issue has been referred to legal experts, and there are differing interpretations: some argue for calculating based on the senators able to participate, while another interpretation maintains that the full Senate membership remains the constitutional basis.
So, in my view, 16 is the straightforward calculation from 24, while reducing it to 14 requires a legal basis—not simply the fact that four senators cannot vote.
Thank you.

In my understanding, two-thirds of the 24 senators is 16 votes.
The Philippine Constitution specifically says that an impeachment conviction requires two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate. Therefore, simply having four senators unavailable does not automatically change the total from 24 to 20 and reduce the requirement to 14 votes. The legal question is whether those senators’ seats are actually vacant or whether the law provides another rule for calculating the required vote. So, based on the wording “two-thirds of all the Members,” I would not automatically reduce 16 to 14 just because four senators cannot vote
