Vice President Michel Temer is increasingly seen as the man who could lead Brazil out of political crisis if President Dilma Rousseff is forced from office, but people who know him say he will do all he can to see her serve out her term.
Even members of Temer’s PMDB party who want Rousseff to step down say Temer, a seasoned politician and discreet, soft-spoken constitutional law expert, will hold the fort for Rousseff as long as long as he can.
They doubt, though, that he can do much to save her if the current pro-impeachment drumbeat results in a trial in Congress.
