: Brazil’s Senate has voted to impeach President Dilma Rousseff in a vote of 61 to 20 over allegations she violated national budget laws. Rousseff, the country’s first female president, has long denied any wrongdoing, and has called the proceedings against her a “political farce” and a “coup.” The senators will next hold a second vote to decide if she should be banned from holding public office for eight years. Michel Temer, who has been ruling the country in the interim since Rousseff’s suspension in May, will serve out the rest of her term through the end of 2018. The last Brazilian president to be impeached and banned from office was Fernando Collor de Mello, in 1992.
