Rousseff cancels Washington trip to avoid Temer from becoming acting president
2016-04-01
The Olympics should be a clusterf*ck
The decision was taken following on PMDB's withdrawal from the federal government's coalition, as the political crisis faced by Rousseff intensified with the possibility that other allied parties will also leave the government coalition.

The cancellation of the trip also prevents Vice President Michel Temer, national president of the PMDB and the main articulator of the party's withdrawal from the government's coalition, from becoming acting president of Brazil for two days.

According to the Brazilian Constitution, the Vice President takes the President's position when the holder leaves the national territory.
