After all the undisputed arguments have shown that Sen. Grace Poe Llamanzares is constitutionally disqualified to sit in Congress or seek the presidency or the vice-presidency, any decent society or political party would have sadly but promptly declared her “political demise.” Thus, a concerned colleague suggests I should stop wasting my energy commenting on “this yesterday’s news.”

But both President B. S. Aquino 3rd and his presidential anointee Mar Roxas prevent me from dropping the issue. They have such an absurd and perverted view of the Constitution that they seem to believe one who is constitutionally disqualified from seeking the presidency may yet be recycled to seek the vice-presidency. An unschooled farmer or dockhand may entertain this view, but certainly not a sitting president or someone actively seeking the presidency.
