Normatively, the proposal to impeach Gibran can indeed be submitted. However, the crucial question is: is there a proven concrete serious legal violation? Prof. Saldi Isra emphasized the importance of strong and objective evidence, not just opinions or political pressure. The Constitutional Court is given a maximum of 90 days to assess the DPR's proposal before the MPR makes a final decision. Prof. Mahfud MD is of the view that this process, although based on law, is highly dependent on the political configuration in the DPR and MPR. He asserts that impeachment is a "political decision within a legal framework," which combines juridical dimensions and power dynamics.

Political Aspects of Impeachment

Politically, Gibran's impeachment began with a letter from the TNI Retired Soldiers Forum. However, with the government coalition controlling around 470 seats in the DPR, the chances of success appear slim. This is where the MPR potentially becomes a field of compromise between factions in meeting the two-thirds vote threshold. In the context of Southeast Asia, impeachment often shifts from law enforcement to an instrument of political delegitimization. The Philippines' experience with the case of Vice President Sara Duterte serves as a mirror that impeachment is not only a legal tool but also a political bargaining chip. Therefore, this step must be carefully considered. It could open up a new legitimacy crisis, especially if the public views it more as a power maneuver than ethical enforcement.
