The Supreme Court announced it will compel Congress to pass a law defining political dynasties, as required by the Constitution.
The Court declared Congress’s 30-year delay in passing such a law a grave abuse of discretion and unconstitutional.
A writ of certiorari has been issued to ensure Congress fulfills its constitutional mandate.
Historically, the Court has dismissed petitions to compel Congress, citing that defining political dynasties is a legislative matter.
This marks a significant shift in the Court’s stance, highlighting the ongoing violation of constitutional provisions on political dynasties.
