The Brazilian Senate is set to vote on whether President Dilma Rousseff should face an impeachment trial. The session, led by the Supreme Court president, is a significant constitutional duty. Rousseff, suspended since May 12, claims she is the victim of a parliamentary coup. The session will last about 20 hours, requiring a simple majority to proceed to the final trial. If approved, the trial will start on August 25, shortly after the Rio 2016 Olympics, and last five days.
