Article 42 .- The quality of citizenship is lost:

1. For service in wartime enemies of Honduras or its allies;

2. By providing help against the State of Honduras, to a foreigner or a foreign government in any diplomatic claim or before an international tribunal;

3. Play in the country, without license from the National Congress, employment of foreign nation's military branch or political nature;

4. By restricting freedom of suffrage, adultery election documents or use fraudulent means to circumvent the popular will;

5. By encouraging, promoting or supporting the continuity or re-election of President of the Republic, and,

6. For Hondurans reside naturalized for more than two consecutive years abroad without prior authorization from the Executive.

In the cases referred to in paragraphs 1) and 2) the declaration of loss of citizenship will make the National Congress through circumstantial case to be formed for the purpose. For the cases of paragraphs 3) and 6), that statement will make the Executive by Government Agreement, and for the cases of subparagraphs 4) and 5) also by government decree, upon conviction handed down by the courts.

Zelaya wasn't a citizen of Honduras when he was exiled.

1. Where was the previous court adjudication revoking citizenship as required in Article 42? Where was the government finding as required in Article 42?

Neither action happened. Furthermore, both the Supreme Court's arrest warrants of June 26th and the resolution passed by the National Congress on June 28th referred to Zelaya as Citizen Zelaya dozens of times. The requirements for revocation of citizenship per Paragraph 5 of Article 42 were never achieved. He was then and still is a citizen. Period.
