The difference is Honduras is a representative government.

 

Honduras can have multiple terms limits added to there constitution. It just needs to be done though congress.

The Constitution is set up so that it is impossible to increase term limits, so Honduras cannot go through congress.  If a law cannot be passed or discarded legally or judicially, that is undemocratic.  In Iran, you cannot remove the Ayatollah legislatively or judicially, so it is obviously undemocratic.

So, why doesn't the legislative branch just change the part of the constitution that restricts them from adding term limits, then add the term limits? Just saying.

Zelaya was going around the legal process and broke the law, end of story. I never really cared one way or the other before this happened, but it really seems pretty cut and dry to me. Break the law, get in trouble.
