#BRAZIL: Pres. Dilma Rousseff Impeached, Removed From Office

[world politics news]


Brazilian senators have voted by 61 to 20 to permanently remove the president from office. Lawmakers accused her of breaking budget responsibility rules. Decision ends the 68-year-old's five-and-a-half-years in power, and more than a decade's dominance by her leftist Workers' Party. She had been suspended in May, pending a trial in the Senate.
