The more likely scenario is a ganging up by the Congress and SC invoking military support for a removal from office.
That would be the Honduran model. Picture Zero arriving in Caracas still in his pajamas!

*******************

The military did not follow orders in Hondorus. They were supposed to take the president into custody to be held for trial as an enemy of the Constitution. That would be the preferable scenario here.

You got that right. From Article I, Section 3:

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

So, I guess that rules out shipping him to Caracas in his pajamas. Drat.
