Who presides over non-presidential impeachment cases?

The Presiding Officer of the Senate, presides over non-presidential impeachment cases. Generally that is the Vice President of the United States. In his/her absence or if the Vice President has a conflict of interest, then it is the President pro tempore of the Senate. The Senate may also appoint some other Senator to serve as the Presiding Officer. The US Constitution requires the Chief Justice of the United States to preside only in presidential impeachment trials.


Who would normally preside over an impeachment trial?

The Chief Justice of the United States presides over a US Presidential impeachment trial; an "Impeachment Trial Committee" comprising Senators selected by the Presiding Officer of the Senate* is in charge of all other impeachment trials. This practice began in 1986 when the Senate amended its rules and procedures for impeachment trials.* The Presiding Officer is not a fixed position. The Vice-President (currently Joe Biden), who also serves as President of the Senate, could be the Presiding Officer; or, in his (or her) absence, the President pro tempore (currently Daniel Inouye, D-HI) could preside; or, anyone the President of the Senate or President pro tempore designates -- even a Junior Senator -- could serve in that capacity.

Other key roles may include various committee chairs and leaders responsible for specific legislative functions.


Is it true or false that the chief justice presides over all impeachment trails?

False. The Chief Justice must preside over only impeachments of a President. Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 states in part: "When the President of the United States is tried, the chief justice shall preside..." Since the US Constitution fails to mention any other impeachment trials, the Senate has adopted rules that provide the Presiding Officer of the Senate (whether the Vice President, President pro tempore or other presiding officer designated by the Senate) shall preside in impeachment trials of other officials. In addition, in some instances, the Senate creates an impeachment trial committee to take evidence and to then report such evidence to the full Senate for its deliberation and vote.

Does the Vice president of the United States have any expressed powers?

The Vice President of the United States does not have any powers expressly granted to him in the Constitution other than * Becoming President in the event of his death, incapacitation, or resignation of the President, and * Acting as the Presiding Officer of the U.S. Senate. As the Senate Presiding Officer, the Vice President will break any deadlocks in the case of a 50-50 tie, and will also certify and present to the President the results of the vote of the Electoral College. Beyond this, the Vice President is given roles and responsibilities by the President as needed. For example, he is one of the four statutory members of the National Security Council.

Can the barangay presiding officer issue a Writ of Execution to a president of non profit corporation in whose office address is on the other barangay?

No, a barangay presiding officer typically does not have the authority to issue a Writ of Execution, as this power is generally reserved for courts. Furthermore, jurisdiction issues may arise if the president's office is located in a different barangay, as local officials usually have limited authority to enforce actions outside their designated areas. Legal processes involving corporate matters are typically handled through the judicial system rather than local barangay governance.
