So you consider the removal of Zelaya in Honduras to be a coup?

Not being familiar with the Honduran Constitution I couldn't say. But I've read our's front to back many, many times. And I can't see where it allows the military to depose the elected government. Can you point out the clause that allows for that please?

That is the key word as far as Honduras goes:
"elected government" He wasn't allowed by their constitution to extend his presidency.

In other words if our president does something illegal with regards to the election or over steps his legal authority the US supreme court has the legal authority to remove the president by force.
