The Hondouran government removed its President according to the Honduran
Constitution when the Honduran President tried to hold an extra

I won't deny Zelaya overstepped his bounds, but I'll also guarantee his
removal was extra-constitutional. Over the years, Honduras has had far
too many coups, to encase them in their Constitution.




Castro, Chavez and Obama didn't like what happened because they saw it
as a puny little Central American country enforcing Constitutional law
thereby preventing the chief of state from staying in office beyond his
constitutional limited term in office setting a bad precedent, according
to them.
