Brazil's Chamber of Deputies voted April 17 to open impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff, dealing her a devastating blow.

The 367-137 vote in favor of impeachment was well over the 342 votes needed for the proceedings to move ahead to the Senate, where a majority vote will determine if Rousseff is put on trial.

Many Brazilians hold Rousseff responsible for everything from the devastating recession to chronic high taxes and poor public services. (AP)
