Resumo: | This paper aims to analyze the institutional evolution of impeachment, from its emergence in England to the occurrence of the American and French matrices, which would later be repeated, with variations, in current presidential and semipresidential democracies. The recent mutation in this instrument function, as we argue here, turned it into a political weapon at disposal of parliamentary oppositions against governments, by one hand, and by the other hand, converted it in a quite peculiar motion of distrust to oust presidents. Nonetheless, this mutation must be understood as another historical change that characterizes a long trajectory of evolutionary adaptations to fit the constant political environment modifications. We conclude by emphasizing the necessity of analyzing the impeachment institutional evolution history in order to understand accurately the reasons for the development of these new functions in currently context of presidential democracies crisis. |

Com essa análise, procuramos oferecer subsídios para futuros estudos acerca da mutação ocorrida recentemente nesse instrumento, qual seja: o seu uso como arma política para interromper mandatos presidenciais, aos moldes da moção de desconfiança, própria dos sistemas parlamentaristas. Assim, procuramos dar fundamentos para a hipótese, sujeita a exames posteriores, de que esse desenvolvimento decorre de uma trajetória de adaptações evolutivas desse instituto às mudanças no ambiente político de cada tempo e lugar. Concluímos destacando a indispensabilidade da perspectiva histórico-institucional para o devido entendimento das novas funções adquiridas pelo impeachment vis-à-vis as crises das democracias presidencialistas contemporâneas.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2021-06-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/84814Revista Direito GV; Vol. 17 No. 1 (2021): jan.-abr.
