The vote to impeach Rousseff was 61 to 20. Two-thirds of senators — 54 out of 81 — were needed for impeachment to pass.Senators broke into cheering and applause after the electronic voting was announced and sang the national anthem, concluding a process that was given the go-ahead in December.
BRASÍLIA — The Senate on Wednesday impeached Dilma Rousseff, Brazil’s first female president, and removed her from office for the rest of her term, the capstone of a power struggle that has consumed the nation for months and toppled one of the hemisphere’s most powerful political parties.The Senate voted 61 to 20 to convict Ms. Rousseff on charges of manipulating the federal budget in an effort to conceal the nation’s mounting economic problems.
Brazil's Senate has voted to remove President Dilma Rousseff from office for manipulating the budget.It puts an end to 13 years in power of her left-wing Workers' Party. Ms Rousseff denies the charges.Sixty-one senators voted in favour of her impeachment and 20 against, meeting the two-thirds majority needed to remove her from the presidency.She was accused of moving funds between government budgets, which is illegal under Brazilian law.
She committed what we call "Pedaladas Fiscais".In essence, first she canceled a law that states how much debt we can get, then spent more money than the country could pay for and "paid" for it by taking loans from our own internal banks.She basically invented money and faked the year's economic results.Their party tries as hard as they can to say that if she was elected than she cannot suffer an impeachment, which is pants on head handicapped.
