Article II of the United States Constitution reads, "The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States; shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of; treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The purpose of impeachment in the United States is to deal with public officials who have abused the power of their office in one form or another. Impeachment is reserved only for government officials because it is of a different nature than ordinary criminal law. Often, impeachment proceedings arise even without evidence of any criminal offense. However, it needs to be determined if the official is guilty of an impeachable offense. This thesis examines the role of impeachment in our government and looks at the considerations used in determining if an impeachable offense has been committed.

A mídia e o judiciário adquirem papel importante nesse processo, pois detêm a prerrogativa de propriedades estruturantes na sociedade moderna ao produzirem pacotes interpretativos sobre os eventos políticos. Portanto, o discurso jornalístico, nesta tese, será perquirido como um espaço de disputa simbólico, que se apodera das múltiplas estruturas de significado da cultura e a notícia será investigada como um produto cultural baseado na linguagem e produzido a partir de enquadramentos culturais negociados pelo veículo, jornalista, público e as circunstâncias do contexto social. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desta tese é discutir como a Rede Globo, por meio do Jornal Nacional, foi construindo e imputando identidades a então presidente Dilma nos anos 2015-2016. Nesse processo, os velhos e novos atores do impeachment destituíram não somente a função de agente político de Dilma, mas também de sujeito social. Durante este episódio, os agentes corresponsáveis pela gestão pública e membros do PT envolvidos na Operação Lava Jato, como o próprio ex-presidente Lula, não produziram uma condição de desconto, mas potencializaram a presunção de culpa de Dilma, na medida em que o discurso jornalístico categorizou de modo genérico os representantes do PT como corruptos e responsáveis pela crise econômica do país. Como metodologia este trabalho rec...

Media and judiciary system assume an important role in this process, since they hold the prerogative of structural proprieties in the modern society as producers of interpretative packages about political events. Therefore, in this dissertation journalism discourse will be inquired as a space of symbolic disputed. It seizes from the multiples structures of cultural meanings. In this case, news will be seen as a cultural product based on language, a result of cultural framings negotiated between the media outlets, the journalists, the public and the circumstances of the social context. In this sense, this dissertation seeks to discuss how Brazilian TV network Rede Globo, through its main broadcast news Jornal Nacional, constructed and imputed identities to the former president Rousseff on 2015-2016 period. In this process, old and new impeachment actors impeached not only the Rousseff function as a political agent, but also as a social subject. During this episode, public agents and members of Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT, the Brazilian Labor Party, left wing) involved on the federal investigation Operação Lava Jato, such as the former president Lula himself, did not produced a mitigating situation. On the contrary, they enhanced Rousseff guilt assumption, car journalist discourse in general categorize PT members as corrupted ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor
