BRASILIA, Aug 31 - Brazil's Senate decided that former President Dilma Rouseeff, who was removed from office earlier on Wednesday, should not be barred from holding public office.
Senators voted 42-36 to allow Rousseff to maintain her political rights, short of the two-thirds needed to bar her. Under Brazilian law, a dismissed president is prevented from holding any government job, even teaching posts at state universities.
