#1 So, by it's own admission, the OAS doesn't believe in the rule of law?

#2 The dude wants to change the constitution to allow an extension of his rule. Sounds undemocratic.

#3 Article 239: "No citizen who has already served as head of the Executive Branch can be President or Vice-President. Whoever violates this law or proposes its reform [emphasis added], as well as those that support such violation directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in their functions and will be unable to hold any public office for a period of 10 years."

Notice that the article speaks about intent and that it also says "immediately" as in "instant," as in "no trial required," as in "no impeachment needed."

Its a built in clause to prevent exactly the subversion that the assclown Zelaya is trying to do. And our dictator-loving president Barack "the F***wit" Obama supports imposition of this criminal by external force.
