With their vote, senators have decided to put Rousseff on a political trial that will last up to six months.
But attendance was much lower than on the day that Congress voted, signifying that the Brazilian people have, to some degree, accepted the result of the vote.
She will then retreat to Alborada Palace, her official residence, where she is allowed to remain in her new condition as ghost president.
Meanwhile, street marches were being held in Brasilia and São Paulo both in favor of Rousseff and against her.
Rousseff is accused of manipulating the national budget to disguise the real state of the deficit and increase public spending ahead of her 2014 re-election campaign.
