Origin and Etymology of afferent. Latin afferent-, afferens, present participle of afferre to bring to, from ad- + ferre to bear â more at bear.
Impeachment therefore was not meant to dispense justice in the manner of ordinary courts. Indeed, under both the American and Philippine constitutions, when someone is convicted by an impeachment court, the penalty does not go beyond removal from office and disqualification to hold public office.
The penalty is a flat fee per adult or a percentage of household income, whichever is greater; the penalty per uninsured child is half the adult penalty. In 2014, the penalty is just $95 per adult, but this quickly escalades to $695 in 2016.
