Abstract

The aim of this article is to scrutinize the controversial impeachment of president Dilma Rousseff and expound the character of presidential system in Brazil. Though the impeachment procedure is a common method to resolve political dead-lock in presidential systems in Latin America, it often leads only to temporary solu-tions. Long-lasting political crises demonstrate that Brazilian democracy has serious shortcomings, with the said long-lasting political crises casting a doubt on functioning the whole system
