The impeachment proposal against Michel Temer, the President of Brazil and former vice-president, consists of an open procedural matter with a goal to preventing the continuation of the mandate of Michel Temer[1] as vice president/acting president of the Republic of Brazil.[2] Temer served as Acting President during the Impeachment process against Dilma Rousseff. The process began with the performance of judicial decision on April 6, 2016, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Eduardo Cunha, to form commission for termination analysis of liability for crime offered by Mariel M. Marra. Four other requests for impeachment were presented to Cunha.[3]

Request for impeachment

On 21 December 2015, the attorney Marra, filed a complaint against the vice president, Michel Temer, but Eduardo Cunha, archived it on January 5, 2016.[4] However, the Minister Marco Aurélio Mello, the Supreme Court ruled[5] on April 5, 2016, that the Chamber President should receive the request for impeachment of vice president and send the case back for analysis by a special committee to be formed in the House. The House of Representatives appealed to the determination that the decision be reviewed.[6] On May 6, 2016, deputy leader of the government in the House, Mr Silvio Costa, said the new president of the Federal Chamber, Deputy Waldir Maranhão, was committed to continuing to impeachment of Vice President Michel Temer.[7][8] On May 17, 2016, the Minister Marcos Aurélio allowed the impeachment request to enter the agenda of the Federal Supreme Court plenary session.[9][10]

In July 2016, the elected president of the chamber, Rodrigo Maia, said that the special committee to consider the impeachment will not be installed yet and informed that the Supreme Court did not set any deadline for the installation of the commission.[11]
