Void for Vagueness Doctrine

It holds that a law is facially invalid if men of common intelligence must


necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application, It is subject
to the same principles governing overbreath doctrine. For one, it is also an
analytical tool for testing on their faces statutes in fee speech cases. And
like overbreath, it is said that a litigant may challenge a statute on its face
only if it is vague in all its possible applications. (Spouses Carlos and
Erlinda Romualdez vs. COMELEC and Garay, G.R. No. 167011, April 30,
2008)
