Summery- Dilma Roussef feels that her impeachment is unjust. She is fighting the impeachment in court and could be suspended from presidency durring the trial. She is accoused of breaking budgetry laws but feels like the impeachment is due to sexism.
Analysis- I feel like Roussef is a popular president because the reason she is allegedly breaking the budget is to pay for popular social programs. I think that the sexism conclusion may be true because she is the first female president in Brazil and people may not know how to respond, but to heavily critisize as people often do when they are not used to things. I believe that she is a smart woman who believes in her people and democracy.

Impeachment is a scary thing, but sometimes it is necessary to regain the trust of the people in the government. An additional example of this would be the impeachment of Richard Nixon after the Watergate Scandal that lead to his forced resignation. Jasmine Rodriguez Period 4
