Acting speaker of Brazil lower house annuls Rousseff impeachment | |||
2016-05-10 | |||
The acting speaker of the lower house of Brazil's Congress annulled the impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff on May 9 and called for a new vote in the chamber.
In a news release, Maranhao said the impeachment process should be returned by the Senate so that the lower house can vote again. It remained unclear whether his decision could be overruled by the Supreme Court, the Senate or a majority in the house.
The full Senate had been expected to vote to put Rousseff on trial on May 11, which would immediately suspend her for the duration of a trial that could last six months. During that period, Vice President Michel Temer would replace her as acting president. | |||

#7 It's all fun and games until the Ribbon Dancing gets dominated by men's figure skating. And Enkidu entering women's Judo - that's gonna be some Mortal Kombat level stuff there. "Finish LGTWQCSHW!" Splat. |

#5 I recall a couple of months back competitors can compete in events according to the gender they identify as. Which will make it a complete farce. |

#3 The same people who are for killing unborn babies in the womb are not the least bit concerned about your childrens safety in the restrooms. These are deranged beasts. They should be dealt with as deranged beasts. This nation is now governed by beasts. And they are in control of your schools too. |
