Legislative Record

Sufficiency in Substance

Section 4 of Rule III of the House Rules on Impeachment provides: “The requirement of substance is met if there is a recital of facts constituting the offense charged and determinative of the jurisdiction of the committee.” Consequently, the finding of sufficiency in substance is confined and limited to the allegations in the complaint.

Under the foregoing standard, the herein impeachment complaints are sufficient in substance because there are recital of facts constituting the offenses charged of culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust.
