Rousseff removed: Brazil senate votes to dismiss president after 9-month impeachment
After a nine-month impeachment process, Dilma Rousseff has been dismissed as president by the Brazilian senate. The lawmakers convicted her of breaking budget laws.
The vote that finalized Rousseff’s dismissal from Brazil’s highest office came on Wednesday, two days after she delivered an emotional speech to defend herself before legislators.
Sixty-one senators of the 81-strong body voted against the now-former president.
