Your support makes all the difference.The impeachment process against Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff has been delayed after the lower house's vote was annulled, marking a significant victory for the embattled leader.
A senate vote on whether to accept the impeachment process was scheduled for Wednesday, but the acting house Speaker's intervention means the matter will go back to the Chamber of Deputies.
It is currently unclear whether the vote will go ahead.
Ms Rousseff has been accused of violating fiscal laws while closing gaps in the budget using money from state banks.
She could face suspension and a trial if the vote is successful.
However, she denies allegations of wrongdoing, and insists that the impeachment is politically motivated.
