Brazil's first female president, Rousseff

The Brazilian constitution stipulates that the president will be deprived of political rights for eight years after being removed for impeachment. If deprived of political rights, Rousseff will not be able to hold public office for eight years. But at the request of the Labour Party to which Rousseff belongs, the Federal Supreme Court, which presided over the impeachment case, decided to vote separately on whether to deprive Rousseff of his political rights.

The impeachment report against Rousseff accuses the government of financial violations, committing a ¡°crime of death¡± as head of government.

The final phase of the trial of the President¡¯s impeachment case began on August 25. Under the leadership of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court, the defendants spoke and presented evidence in the Brazilian Senate. Rousseff defended himself in the Senate on August 29 and asked the Senate to repeal the impeachment case.

On April 17, the Brazilian House of Representatives passed the impeachment of President Rousseff by a majority of votes.On May 12, the plenary session of the Brazilian Senate passed the impeachment bill against President Rousseff in the first round of voting, and then Rousseff was forced to temporarily suspend and Vice-President Temer became Vice President. On August 10, the Senate again passed the impeachment bill in the second round of voting.

Rousseff, who won the general election in 2010 as a Labour presidential candidate and took office in January 2011, was the first female president in Brazil's history. Rousseff successfully won the 2014 election as president.
