@vontrader

i agree with you that this is 1 more bypass at the start of the next session would be Gina Lopez' 3rd bypass

However, the 3-bypass rule and the forced secret voting rule was only passed last March,
and would only be effective 15 days after publication
Prior to that, it was an unofficial rule, and no secret voting
There was in fact some discussion on whether the CA could apply the rule retroactively
There is an article that discusses the technicalities at length
I will look for it

So, there are alternative schools of thought as to when it can be applied the earliest
Thus, I could not categorically say that it can be done by May 3

It it cant be used, only a unanimous vote from CA rejecting her can oust her
And I believe she has at least 5 loyal votes with her in the CA

I hope I am wrong but that is my understanding
I think that is the general feeling though
Thus, the spate of cases, the MICC teams activation and the defiance of DMCI of her orders
To force the issue and not rely on the CA
