And you don't seem to have read it either. That, or you're just too stubborn to just post the text here so everyone can read it so as to keep saying how everyone has not read the constitution and thus should just shut up, which is IMO a childish attitude. Anyways:
Quote:
ARTICLE 239.- A citizen that has had the titularity of the Executive Power cannot be chosen as President or Delegate.
He who breaks this disposition or proposes its reformation, as well as those who support it direcly or indirectly, will inmediately cease in the fullfilling of their respective postings, and will be disabled for ten years for the execution of any public function.

That's a direct quote I've translated from article 239 of the Honduran constitution. It's possible that the ways of the "de facto" government to "disable" Zelaya have been a little exaggerated, and in fact, the article doesn't mention any specific actions to be taken other than the dismissal of the respective persons.
BUT, that doesn't mean I disagree with them, in fact, I think that Zelaya guy is just another Chavez waiting to happen, and the only reason our government (Spain) supports them is because of the money the think they'll get by being all friendly, given how much investment our country puts in South America, and how Chavez has been nationalizing some spanish corporation's branches there.
Free elections? I'm sure there will be, it's just that the pseudo-dictator won't be present, but anyone else will be. Having another one of Chavez's puppets in a S. America government is bad for everyone, but specially for the US (see Chavez disrespectfully speaking of the US all the time), and still, it amazes me how they're actually oppositing the "de facto" government.
