president these members are similar to the other members of the avengers to complete the team like black widow hawkeye lee hawk and thor the cabinet is composed of the vice president and the heads of the executive department they are nominated by the president and must be confirmed by the commission on appointments now let's answer the question how do you become a part of the executive department to answer discussion it is important to discuss the qualifications of the president and the vice president they both have the same qualifications and is elected in the same manner here are your qualifications first natural born filipino second a registered voter third must be able to read and write fourth 40 years of age at the day of the election and must have resided in the philippines for 10 years before the election the start of office for the president and the vice president is on the 30th day of june following the day of the election and it will end after 6 years noon of june 30. both the president and the vice president can also be removed through impeachment let's move on to their term of office for the president it is six years and can only serve for a single term only and not eligible for any re-election now it is also important to take note that any person who has succeeded as president and served for more than four years shall not be qualified for election to the same office the vice president can also serve for six years and starting and ending the same time as the president however he can serve for two successive terms and is eligible to run for president now it is important for you to take note of these numbers 40 10 6 1 2. so what are these numbers 40 stands for the age requirement of the president on the vice president 10 stands for the number of years that the president and the vice president must live in the philippines six stands for the year term office of the president and the vice president one means that the president can only run for the election one time and then two stands for the two successive terms that the vice president is allowed to ride let's move on to the presidential succession there is always a chance the tragedy can happen to ensure continuity and stability of operations in the government article 7 of the 1987 philippine constitution provides a line of presidential succession this line follows the order of vice president president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives to understand more about this topic let's take a closer look at the presidential succession let's start with the vacancies at the beginning of the term if the president-elect fails to qualify or to be chosen the vice president-elect will be acting president until someone is qualified or chosen as the president but if the president-elect dies or is permanently disabled the vice president becomes the president now if both the vice president and the president are not chosen or do not qualify or both die or both become permanently disabled the senate president or in case of his inability the speaker of the house shall act as a president until a president or a vice president shall have been chosen and qualified in case of death or disability of both the members congress shall determine by law who will be acting the president let's move on to the vacancies after the office is initially failed if the president dies is permanently disabled is impeached or resigns the vice president becomes the president for the unexpired term however if both the president and the vice president die become permanently disabled or impeach or resign the senate president or in case of his inability the speaker of the house shall act as a president and tell the president or the vice president shall have been elected and qualified let's move on to the vacancy in the office of the vice president if the office of the vice president is vacant as a consequence of presidential succession the president shall nominate a vice president among the members of the congress who shall assume office upon confirmation of the members of the congress for example when former president joseph estrada was ousted from malacanang through people power too he was succeeded by the vice president gloria arroyo arroyo became the president and the office of the vice president became bigot the new president gloria arroyo nominated senator the fiscal gingana for vice president whose nomination was confirmed by the members of the congress now let's talk about the temporary disability of the president the temporary inability of the president to discharge his duties may be raised in the following ways first declaration by the president if the president himself transmits a written declaration to the senate president and the house speaker the vice president becomes the acting president second declaration by the members of the senate if majority of the cabinet members transmitter written declaration to the senate president and the speaker of the house of representatives the vice president becomes the acting president but if the president transmitted to the senate president and the speaker are written declaration that no inability exists he shall reassume his office third decision by the congress if there is a dispute between the president and the cabinet members the congress will decide the voting requirement is two-third vote of both houses voting separately if it reaches to third the vice president will act as a president but if it fails to reach two-thirds of votes the president will continue his powers let's move on to the last topic that we are going to discuss in this video presidential illness if the president is seriously ill the public shall be informed of the state of his health the members of the cabinet in charge of national security and foreign relations and the chief of staff of the armed forces of the philippines shall not be denied access to the
