    The PT and the LullaRat can call for fresh elections or whatever they want, but the Constitution and the Supreme Court say differently : If the fat cow is impeached, Temer takes over ; if Temer is impeached, Eduardo Cunha takes over - IF he's still around ; if Cunha is gone, his replacement, whoever that may be, takes over ; if that person too, for some reason is also removed from office, the head of the Senate, Renan Calheiros, another crook, takes over....provided he is has not also been removed from his position....after him, the President of the Supreme Court becomes president. New election, only at the end of 2018. As usual, the PT thinks it can fiddle with the Law to suit its needs.

    To lead a country, it's better to appoint a crook who can improve the economic situation; rather than wasting time / money on the endless investigations.
