Temer sworn in as new president

Rousseff who still remains defiant, has become the first leader removed from office since 1992

Michel Temer was sworn in as the Brazil's new president on Wednesday shortly after lawmakers ousted Dilma Rousseff from her presidency in an impeachment vote. The Senate voted 61-20 to immediately remove Rousseff from office after a marathon debate, ending the long impeachment process.

Temer will serve out the rest of Rousseff's four-year term through 2018.
