Counter what he has said with an argument. The constitution states, votes of not less than two-thirds majority of the members of that House. It didn't explicitly states that " the two thirds of the entire (all) members of the house. A quorum is 1/3 of all the members of the house, then, 2/3 of the one third can impeach. Please counter with an argument not insult.
One may just think, people with no arguments should not post a counter to a thread.

lol ,so if i was saraki ,I won't fear at all ,I will let Dem do whatever dey like ,2hrs later the new senate president will be impeached.
you are saying PDP didn't Know this rule in 2014 ?
the 2/3 majority of d whole house is to protect the senate from having this stupid issues of changing the senate leader every week ...

slotA4:



Nigeria constitution says 2/3 majority of the senate not 2/3 majority of the quorum or simple majority of the quorum. Please get knowledge and save yourself from preventable disgrace.

Can you ask yourself how Saraki became the Senate president with only 57 senators present?

dochenaj:

What business has the Judiciary with impeachment? The setting up of a panel by the CJN is not a judiciary involvement.

So the CJN and his involvement has nothing to do with the judiciary?

Antipob777:
As a lawyer, I agree with what sagay said. That's the position of the law.

One does not need to quote the Constitution to back this.

Only the useless, frustrated pigs and idiots of Biafra will argue this even when the know nothing about the law.

In my opinion, saraki should toe the part of honour like Akpabio.

A lawyer speaking with vulgar tenses..is beyond me...as lawyer your presentation of arguments defines your training and knowledge not hurling insults

slotA4:



Kindly read section 50; subsection 2c. Then you'll understand they need 2/3 majority of the entire senate to impeach the leadership and not 2/3 majority at the plenary. Judging from the precedence, impeachment of NASS leadership took place with 2/3 majority of the entire house.

You are the intelligent one here. 2/3 'majority at plenary' which can be formed by number needed for quorum is not 2/3 majority of senate. Constitution says 2/3 'majority of Senate'.

Butterflyleo how marketi.
Oya bring another dumboharist logic.

Butterflyleo:


This is not maths this is a legal language that says 2/3 MAJORITY of the members of the house and not 2/3 OF ALL the members of the house

I went thru your post to confirm if your posts are one-sided and supports Buhari no matter what. Since it's in the affirmative there's no need to argue with you.

But...


Even, assuming, we have no precedents in other Senate Presidents removed in Nigeria (which we do), our laws are copied from the US system of govt of a 3 tier govt. What is the precedence, since you know law so much?

“It doesn’t have to be everybody. It’s those who happen to be there. Once they meet the quorum of one-third, and he is there, he can be removed by two-thirds of that one-third,” the PACAC chairman said.

if SARAKI must be there before the twisted 2/3 can impeach him, then all saraki supporters MUST always be before and and after him... bumper to bumper all the way.
Grandpa sagay... u are sick like sicky sicky presido so...

I think this man is very correct. If I can remember over 40 members of APC were not in the chamber the day Saraki was elected. The same Saraki and his deputy claims that the House rule stated that the 2/3 of members present. He even claim that if those APC senator were present Ekweremadu would not have been DSP.

That is karma for you. They 'criminally' change the house rule to favor their selfish ambition, now that same rule will be use to kill the ambition.

Antipob777:


Lazy frustrated idiotic pig. The process of impeaching a president is not same as saraki.

Ndi Ara

Myndd44..lalasticlala...rule 2 broken

With such statements they still deny knowing about Nass Invasion. It's obvious the plan was to get only APC senators into the red chambers, form a quorum and get Saraki impeached. APC were elected to set the right examples, not bastardise institutions in the name of politics

Says the mushroom Professor of law.

[quote author=sirequity post=70153541]

Source: https://www.headlineng.com/majority-one-third-senate-membThis is the very reason upon which Apc hope to take down saraki,it is now clear that the invasion of the NASS was plan and authorised by Apc who had their quorum of senators on standby to quickly move in and execute their evil plot if the invassion had succeeded,the invasion failed but it is certain that the Apc have not given up judging by the utterances of oshiomole,sagay etc.saraki,ekweremadu n Timi frank n the whole of Pdp are right in continously alerting nigerians about the evil plans of apc,in the midst of all this impreressions will be created to make buhari appear innocent falsely whereas the hypocrite is aware of everythinng..APC / buhari are just devils.

smirn:

ignorance the major problem of Nigerians especially the youths. The process of removing the president is different from that of removing the Senate President. Go read the constitution very well and stop making a fool of yourself.

You people are the ones making fools of yourselves.

The constitution clearly states "2/3 majority of the members of that house"

You people are interpreting it to mean 2/3 of the majority.

Butterflyleo:


You clearly lack Knowledge.
Why so you think there is a struggle for each party to have more Senators in the house? Its so they can be in majority.

Those in majority hold much of the decisions that go on there and saraki knows this.

Since the simple majority in the house now is APC then it becomes east to form a quorum from The current majority and getting 2/3 to impeach saraki.

A minority cannot effect unless they are able to convince the majority to join in the process.

The majority already take a position of leadership which is why they also determine who the senate president should be. Senate president always comes from the majority but reverse is now the case in Nigeria.

Saraki is just trying to prolong the inevitable

You are the one that clearly lacks knowledge
You will just be typing with twisted information you get from BMC group and your party law misfits Cc. Smirn

You people are just making fools of yourselves.

The constitution clearly states "2/3 majority of the members of that house"

I repeat, if you people carry out illegal impeachment of Saraki and deputy, it will come back to haunt, as the legislature now needs just 2/3 of any majority (can swing overnight) to make any law, and to impeach the president.

Go and read so you learn

Oya clap for ya sef! Continue in deceit.

surgical:
The guy is wrong, the process is cearly stated in the Constitution is 2/3 of the members, there is no where majority refers to a corum, they want to corrupt our laws they are a desperate people, majority means the larger number which 2/3 represents,1/3 can't be greater than 2/3 no matter how they spin it

i agree with u

mrvitalis:


If buhari wanted to impeach him the way the media paints it... Saraki would have been forgotten right now

It's super easy to impeach a senate president

Obj tenure should tell you that

well i agree, bt the world will be on his neck and people will see in a bad light
