The present article proposes to analyze the vote of the Chamber of Deputies that authorized the process of opening impeachment of President Dilma in April 2016. From a set of variables, we performed a logistic regression model to find out which of them had effect so that the deputies voted yes by the process of impediment. The results indicate that the political party factor through the orientation of the leadership, belonging to the center-right field and belonging to the evangelical group explain in large part the adhesion of the yes vote. On the other hand, being of a state whose governor was ally of the president and being of a party that was in the victorious presidential coalition in 2014 were negatively associated to the vote by the impediment. Thus, it is concluded that some institutions imported decisively in determining the end of President Dilma's term.
