The National Congress issued Decree 141-2009 on June 28th removing Zelaya from office and installing Micheletti as President. Nowhere in this document do they cite Article 42. Nowhere.

Do you have a link to that decree? I thought not. What else could they have been referring to? Article 42 is what covers the actions Zelaya took that they had repeatedly warned him to stop and to which they voted for his removal.

So you want links, huh? I got 'em.

• Honduran Constitution of 1982, as amended (mouse over each sentence for original Spanish). Warning -- the Googlebot's English translation is pretty lame.
  
  
• Decreto 141-2009 issued by the National Congress on June 28th (as published in La Gazeta, official government journal)
  
  
• English translation of Decreto 141-2009 posted by a FReeper (see comment #60 of the thread)
  
  
• Special Communique issued by Honduran Supreme Court of Justice on June 30th that I referred to in an earlier comment.

Even the Law Library of Congress researcher who wrote the "CRS report" everyone cites as authoritative said that Article 102 was violated (i.e., that Zelaya was a citizen at the time of deportation).
