Brazil's presidential line of succession

Ricardo Lewandowski

Chief justice of the supreme court

Not under investigation but his mandate finishes in September, when he is due to be replaced by Carmen Lucia

Renan Calheiros

 

Leader of the upper house

The man who oversaw Rousseff's impeachment is the subject of 11 criminal probes

Waldir Maranhão

Interim speaker of the lower house

He is also under investigation for receiving bribes, and announced on Wednesday that he would soon step aside. Many constitutional experts argue an interim speaker cannot be considered in the line of succession

Eduardo Cunha

 

Speaker of the lower house

He was stripped of his position last week by the supreme court. He also faces charges of bribery and perjury

Michel Temer

Vice-president

75-year-old is expected to form a centre-right government, but also faces impeachment and has twice been investigated for bribery and kickbacks

Dilma Rousseff

President

Brazil's first female president stripped of her duties on Thursday for up to six months after senate vote
