Practice question
A valid amnesty is implemented through an authorized committee’s review and a department secretary’s certificate. A challenger objects solely that the President did not personally receive the application. Which is best under Trillanes?
- The President must personally process every document in every case.
- No certificate can ever be signed by an implementing official.
- The committee necessarily becomes Congress.
- Administrative implementation through the authorized officials is not itself the prohibited transfer asserted.
- Administrative work automatically repeals the proclamation.
