‘A clause in Peru’s constitution enables legislators to remove presidents who are found to be “morally incapable” of conducting their duties. This clause has given legislators great leverage over Peru’s executive branch, which has also struggled in recent years to build congressional majorities. ... Peru has had seven presidents over the past decade — with only two of those elected by a popular vote. The others have been vice presidents who have stepped in for deposed presidents, and members of Congress who have been selected by their peers to lead the South American nation.’
