So sad what Rousseff has done to that country.

Funny how they're trying the same shite in Venezuela - the military coups no longer work - let's have parliamentary coups.

The delay will be caused by the fact that Maranhao will no longer be viable and may need to be replaced which takes time - he also has corruption issues. The Supreme Court of Brazil favors impeachment and will probably have the final word if it gets that far.
