Brazil's Senate has voted to remove President Dilma Rousseff from office for manipulating the budget.
It puts an end to the 13 years in power of her left-wing Workers' Party. Ms Rousseff had denied the charges.
Sixty-one senators voted in favour of her dismissal and 20 against, meeting the two-thirds majority needed to remove her from the presidency.
Michel Temer has been sworn in as president and will serve out Ms Rousseff's term until 1 January 2019.
Her critics said she was trying to plug deficit holes in popular social programmes to boost her chances of being re-elected for a second term in October 2014. She called it a parliamentary coup.
Even Venezuela removed the Brazilian ambassador and froze relations. I personally think she did a lot for that country as a female president. The World Cup and the Olympics went to that country, jobs were created but of course once you do one thing wrong, that's the end. Game over Dilma!
