Michel Temer was sworn in as Brazil's new leader following the ouster of President Dilma Rousseff.
Temer took an oath of office a few hours after the Senate voted 61-20 to remove Rousseff from office for breaking fiscal laws in her management of the federal budget.
Temer was accompanied by leaders of both chambers of Congress and his Cabinet. He did not make any statements, and expected to address the nation later Wednesday.
The 75-year-old career politician had been acting president since May, when the Senate impeached and suspended Rousseff ahead of the trial to decide her fate.
