George Marques: Supreme Court resorts to procedural manipulation in Renan's case.
According to the journalist, "behind the scenes, the Supreme Federal Court (STF) is seeking an alternative to keep the senator as President of the Senate, but prevent him from being in the presidential line of succession. A procedural maneuver is one of the alternatives being considered, following the heightened crisis between the branches of government that threatens Brazilian democratic tranquility."
