Even if the supreme court ruled his constitutional referendum to extend his presidency illegal?

Okay.

I just make suggestions as to why O would be upset, not in any legal form. Just gut feelings. I wonder if I am too old to teach myself our Constitutional law. I would rather study theology, probably less complicated. :)

Sorry, but even the supreme court doesn’t get to order a military coup. The correct procedure would have been to impeach him, which the Congress was considering at the time of the coup.

As bad as Clinton behaved, I would not have supported the military coming in and removing him from office. Nixon either. That’s not the way democracies work. That’s the way third world dictatorships work.
