What is moral incapacity?

Permanent moral incapacity is not regulated in a law or in the Regulations of Congress or in the Political Constitution of Peru.

That is to say, “any reprehensible behavior in ethical terms can very well be redirected into a permanent moral incapacity”.

In the same article, García mentions that “Professor César Valega García pointed out, in his Executive Power classes at the PUCP Law School, that the concept of ‘moral incapacity’, which appeared in the 1939 letter, was understood in the 19th century as ‘mental incapacity’”.

However, the author adds that “permanent moral incapacity might also admit a restricted moral sense, linked to ethically reprehensible behaviors of such gravity and flagrantness that they make it manifestly impossible for the President of the Republic to remain in office.”
