The article you linked to does not reference the actual impeachment provisions. The manner in which Zelaya was removed could very well be consistent with those procedures.

And by "consistent" I mean it is conceivable that the Honduran constitution allows for other means of removing the president apart from formal impeachment proceedings. There could be a dual track method for exigent circumstances. The fact that the Honduran Supreme Court issued an order approving his removal strongly suggests to me that the impeachment procedures were duly complied with or lawfully (constitutionally) overridden.

I might believe such procedures are unwise, but that does not mean they are unconstitutional according to Honduran constitutional law.
