| TheRealMafoo said: Ok, so I read today on CNN that the disposed leader of Honduras is coming to Washington to speak with Clinton. It seems He has the backing of the US (along with many other countries), and they are trying to pressure Honduras to reinstate him. From what I hear, he tried to eliminate (or change somehow) presidential voting, so he can stay in office. The Honduras Supreme Court ruled this unconstitutional, and then the Justice department issued a warrant for his arrest. In this case, government worked. Removing him from office is what you are supposed to do in a case like this. Why on earth are we not supporting the proper actions of a democratic system? |
From what I heard it didn't happen like that.
He tried too get a referendum going to eliminate limits on the NUMBER of times a President can run for RE-ELECTION. The people would've had to vote both for the referendum, then vote him in again for him to keep going.
But he wasn't a popular president with the legislature, Supreme Court or military, so they said screw due process and got rid of him.
