The latest on the debate and vote in Brazil's Senate on the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff (all times local):2 a.m.Brazilian senators have a long way to go to finish their debate on whether to impeach President Dilma Rousseff. The Senate president, Renan Claheiros, had hoped the body could vote on impeachment by late Wednesday. The impeachment hinges on allegations Rousseff violated fiscal rules in handling the federal budget. More than 16 hours into a debate that began Wednesday morning, the 50th senator gave his speech at 1:30 a.m., leaving 21 colleagues still scheduled to talk. The chamber is still crowded, although there are more aides than senators themselves.
