Why does Brazil want to impeach President Rousseff? 01:17

(CNN)After months of speculation, mudslinging and debate, the process to open impeachment proceedings against Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has reached its final stage: The Senate vote.

The country's 81 representatives are scheduled to issue their recommendation Wednesday. If a simple majority votes in favor of the Senate taking on the impeachment case, Rousseff will be forced to leave Planalto Presidential Palace for 180 days.

According to a survey published by Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, 50 senators have expressed they would vote in favor of impeachment proceedings.
