Reply #1: Thanks for posting this clear explanation.

[Billy Burnett]

He was kidnapped and illegally extradited at gunpoint the day before the non binding poll asking whether or not there should be a referendum to vote for or against a referendum to add a referendum process to add amendments to the constitution. It was not the referendum to change the constitution and not even the referendum as whether or not they should have a referendum on changing the constitution. There is no poll or referendum on changing term limits even proposed, and even if there were to be it couldn't happen until after his term is over (disqualifying him from running again).

I see people twittering about Honduras Constitution, Article 42, section 5, but nowhere does it cover this event.

It's a power grab at gunpoint. A coup.

According to pro Honduran coup posters here, parts of a normal "impeachment" are:

Military raid on the presidential residence
Extradition of the president to another country (aka: kidnapping) in the dead of night
Shutting down of electricity
Shutting down of all TV stations (and when they went back up nothing but cartoons and soaps)
Shutting down land line phones
Shutting down internet communications
Installation of a new dear leader without national referendum
Arresting journalists
Troops beating and killing civillians
Disappearances of allies of the now exiled elected president

Just part of a normal "impeachment" in Honduras. :eyes:
