“It was not “overthrown” - the leadership was constitutionally impeached. Get your facts straight.”

You don’t have your facts straight.

They clearly didn’t follow the constitutional procedure.
That means the procedure used was “unconstitutional”.

Article 111 impeachment must follow a specific set of procedures: Parliament must vote to impeach and then convene a committee to investigate. That committee must investigate and report back to parliament, which must then vote to bring charges. A final vote to convict may only come after receipt of a judgment from the Constitutional Court...

The only other way they can constitutionally replace the president is incapacitation, death, or resignation.

By the way did you notice how many parliament members are still voting? Over 100 are missing, all from one side, according to some reports due to threats of violence.

They used this opportunity of missing parliamentarians the next day to ram through legislation banning the use of Russian language in 13 of 27 provinces...

What would you think if Republican congressmen were kept away from Capital Hill by intimidation, and then the democrats used the opportunity to ram through bills they previously hadn’t been able to?

He was impeached.

Rather than wait for charges to be filed by any committee, he fled the country.

When you run away from your job and hide in another country, most rational people would consider that a resignation.

I'm not surprised Putin's other 100 employees fled their posts as well, but it's not like the Parliament can just wait around for them to do the job the FSB was paying them to do.
