Article 4 established: Having been notified, the President of the Senate shall proceed to hold a public drawing of lots to select from legislators on the list mentioned in Article 1, five members of the Impeachment Jury, of which the parties (plaintiff and accused) shall be advised with at least three days’ notice, with a special citation sent to the Chairs of the Committees for Constitutional Affairs and Agreements and for General Legislation.

If the complaint lies outside the jurisdiction of the Jury, it shall find as much by a reasoned concurring vote of seven of its members rejecting the complaint or accusation and ordering the proceedings to be set aside. If it is prima facie admissible, it shall notify the accused, granting them not more than 15 days in which to answer, which term may not be extended for reasons of distance. 10 44.

That discovery period shall conclude within 15 days after the Jury is formed. That term having expired, it shall pronounce a decision on the propriety of the notice based on the information in its possession." 11 8 Law 8085, Rules of Procedure for the Impeachment Judges. 9 Law 8085, Rules of Procedure for the Impeachment Judges.
