Fernando Affonso Collor de Mello (; born August 12, 1949) was the
32nd President of Brazil from 1990 to 1992, when he resigned in a failed attempt to stop his trial of
impeachment by the
Brazilian Senate. Collor was the first President directly elected by the people after the end of the
Brazilian military government. He is also the youngest President in Brazilian history, taking office at the age of 40.
