Her citation for the “50 Least Powerful People in the World”:
The first female President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, is currently suspended from her position amidst accusations that she illegally fudged government balance sheets to hide the true financial troubles her country faces. In power since 2011, massive protests broke out upon Rousseff’s 2014 reelection due to a pervasive public perception of corruption. Her current impeachment trial kept Rousseff from participating in the opening ceremony of the Olympics, the first ever held in South America.
Rousseff is joined on the list by Bill Cosby, Ryan Lochte, David Petraeus, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Brian Williams and many more.
