This R&D provides resources on the ongoing impeachment saga engulfing Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. The Brazilian Senate voted last week to put Rousseff on trial. She stands accused of illegally manipulating public finances and will now be forced to vacate the presidential palace while lawmakers consider her fate. The trial might take six months, which could mean that Rousseff will miss being Brazil’s official head of state during the Summer Olympics. Her supporters charge that she is a victim of a legislative coup.
