The purpose of the article was to analyze the figure of the presidential vacancy due to permanent moral incapacity prescribed in paragraph 2 of article 113° of the Political Constitution of Peru. The type of research was qualitative, descriptive level and hermeneutical-interpretive design. The techniques of legal interpretation and comparative law were applied. The study analyzes the vacancy of the President of the Republic Martín Alberto Vizcarra Cornejo. The results express that, there is no precedent in the constitutions of neighboring countries on this figure, what they do present is “physical and mental disability”. In the United States, the "impeachment" or political trial is applied, it is analogous to what is prescribed in articles 99° and 100° of the Peruvian Constitution on the "preliminary trial" and "political trial"; that, unlike the vacancy due to moral incapacity, the process begins with an accusation for constitutional infraction, with criminal content that determines the dismissal and disqualification of the official or the accusation before the Supreme Court. In conclusion, the category of the presidential vacancy due to permanent moral incapacity, overlaps with the “preliminary judgment” and “political judgment” due to lack of content, they are likely to remain under the subjective and authoritarian criteria of the congressman. Being necessary the reform of articles 113°, 99° and 100° of the Political Constitution through a Development Law, which clarifies and specifies the content of the presidential vacancy due to moral incapacity and what is related to the "preliminary judgment" and "impeachment”.
