Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff suspended for 6months as senate votes to impeach her

Embattled president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, was suspended  today from office and stripped of duties as the senate commences impeachment  procedures against the country's first female president.

This  will be the South American nation's first impeachment in 24 years and  with Dilma just halfway through her mandate, she's now being stripped off  presidential duties for 6 months as the Brazilian senate vote to begin  an impeachment trial while Vice president Michel Temer will take over  presidential duties..

 

After a lengthy 20 hour  debate where senators voted 55 to 22 to suspend her, Dilma will have to  step away while she is tried by the upper house for allegedly  manipulating government accounts to fund the previous electoral  campaign.

She will be tried by fellow senators  who are have even committed more serious financial crimes with reports  emanating from Brazil saying that the impeachment procedure is more  'political' than 'legal'

Rousseff’s approval ratings is now around 10% as close to 60% of voters support impeachment.
