Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff Has Been Impeached

Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff was stripped of the country’s presidency Wednesday in a Senate impeachment vote ending 13 years of leftist rule in Latin America’s biggest economy.

Senators voted by a majority of 61 to 20 to remove Rousseff from office on the grounds that she illegally manipulated the national budget.
