    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I heard the Chairman of the Constitutional Implementation Commission (CIC) asking either the courts or some other tribunal to establish a threshold for these impeachment proceedings. So far, reading the two Reports, I think that there is a lot of literature in these reports about the question of threshold for impeachment. It is an issue which the Senate is very conscious about. In fact, in all these proceedings, and as I read this Report, I find that it is an issue that we have addressed time and again. Therefore, we do not need an opinion from another body or arm of Government, to tell us how to do our job. This is because the Constitution is a product of Parliament. It may not be the only organ of Constitution making, but even this Constitution, if we wanted to amend it, there is a parliamentary process by which Parliament, including the Senate, can amend. So, the lawmaker is not supposed to be lectured really on the law."
