BRASILIA —Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff was impeached Thursday and will be suspended from office after senators voted overwhelmingly to put her on trial for allegedly breaking budget laws.

Following a marathon debate session that lasted through the night, 55 of Brazil's 81 senators voted against Rousseff, the country’s first woman president, who once enjoyed widespread support in South America’s largest country and an economic powerhouse in the region.
