Arrest Warrant Issued for Philippines Vice President Sara Duterte in Impeachment Trial

A Philippine court has ordered the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte as impeachment proceedings proceed; the Senate, acting as the impeachment court, opened her televised trial in July and, if convicted, she could be permanently disqualified from public office and barred from seeking the presidency in 2028. The case highlights political tensions in the Philippines, including Duterte’s past alignment with China and Russia versus President Marcos’s closer ties to the US.

Trump Congratulates Vances on Alec Neel, JD Vance’s Fourth Child

Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha welcomed their fourth child, Alec Neel Vance, born July 19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. President Donald Trump congratulated them on Truth Social. The birth makes Vance the first vice president to have a child in office in over 150 years (the last were Schuyler Colfax in 1870 and John C. Calhoun in 1829). The Vances’ other children are Ewan (9), Vivek (6), and Mirabel (4), who are kept largely out of the public eye.

Vance Welcomes Fourth Child, First Sitting U.S. Vice President to Become a Father in 150+ Years

US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha announced the birth of their fourth child, a son named Alec Neel Vance, born at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Alec Neel is the first child born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years, joining siblings Ewan (2017), Vivek (2020), and Mirabel (2021). Vance, a former Marine and Yale Law School graduate, has long urged higher birth rates, and the arrival comes amid a mini baby boom among Trump administration officials.

Understanding the Twenty-Fifth Amendment: not a quick route to oust a president

Understanding the Twenty-Fifth Amendment: not a quick route to oust a president

The Twenty-Fifth Amendment provides a process for replacing a president who is unable to discharge the duties of office: the vice president and a majority of the executive department heads can declare the president incapacitated, making the vice president the acting president; the president can contest this, and Congress then has 21 days to decide by a two-thirds vote to remove him. In practice, invoking it against a sitting president (as discussed with Trump) is uncertain, requires broad cabinet support (eight of 15 principal officers), and would be temporary; impeachment remains the constitutional route to remove a president.

Unlikely 25th Amendment path to remove Trump amid cross‑party calls

Despite cross‑party calls to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump, the path remains highly unlikely: it requires the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet (Congress does not initiate it) and Pence is not expected to trigger it; past uses by Reagan and Bush were for health-related handoffs, and there is no established congressional body designated to act under the amendment.

Vance keeps a wary distance on Iran war as conflict drags on

As the Iran conflict stretches on, Vice President JD Vance has offered a notably restrained public stance, refraining from strong personal commentary and frequently echoing the president’s perspective. Reports suggest he initially counseled against a broader war but shifted to align with Trump’s push for a swift strike, while his sparse social media presence raises questions about potential political risk and distance ahead of a possible 2028 bid.
