In this session, as everyone knows, the plenary of this House adopted its opinion submitted by the Special Committee that proposed was sent to the Senate for the eventual opening process against Ms. President, Dilma Rousseff, a crime of responsibility.
3. As the petition had not yet been decided, I examined her and decided to accept in part the weights in it. Desacolhi the complaint of nullity made in relation to the reasons given by Messrs. Deputies at the time of voting, understanding that there were any defects in those statements of votes. However, I accepted other daily graded recitations, understanding that effectively occurred vices that made null and void the session in question. Could not the political parties have closed question or signed guidance for parliamentarians to vote one way or another, as in the case should vote according to their personal convictions and freely. They could parliamentary you before the conclusion of the vote have publicly announced their votes, as it features prejudgment and clear offense to the full rights of defense that are enshrined in the Constitution. Likewise, could not the defense of Ms. President of the Republic has ceased to speak last in the vote, as has just occurred.

5. For these reasons, anulei the session held on 15, 16 and 17 and determined that a new session be held to decide on the matter within 5 sessions of the date on which the process is returned by the Senate to the House of Representatives.
6. To comply with my decision, headed letter to the President of the Senate to the case of the impeachment process are returned to the House of Representatives.
