interim President Roberto Micheletti”? Excuse me?

What else could you logically label him? He *is* interim, between the time that adherence to the Honduran Constitution required the removal of Zalaya, and the elections to be held in November...

Presidential terms in Honduras run from January 27 every fourth year to January 27th four years later. For this cyle, Zelaya became President on January 27, 2006 and the new president will enter office on January 27, 2010. So even though the election is scheduled for November 29, Micheletti will remain interim President until next January.

Of course, the Micheletti regime hasn't been real good at adhering to the Constitution. They deported Zelaya in violation of Article 102 and just this past Sunday they suspended several Constitutional articles.

Heck, they could suspend the election and declare someone President for Life and that would apparently be OK with most of the people commenting here.

Because Zelaya is a Communist /sarcasm.
