Can someone please tell me why are they calling it a coup? isn't impeachment in the constitution and hasn't the Supreme Court allowed those proceedings to conti

  It is not a coup, this is allowed by the constitution and has the avail from the supreme court. I'm Brazilian, and only the worker's party and their followers call it a coup. The majority of the people want the removal of the current president due to its inability to run the country.

  Because if you're getting out of the power, in a democratic way, as written in your constitution, and you don't have enough support from people / congress... not even 33% of it... well, call it a coup.

  > Can someone please tell me why are they calling it a coup? “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell” They are calling it a coup because it's the only way they found to yell like hell, and in the process weave a story that helps them mobilize their base.
