Thank you for the comment. I have clarified the language to say "opponent" rather than "opposition party." I was using the term "impeachment" as shorthand for removal procedures, but you are correct that there is no specific impeachment clause in the Honduran Constitution. The country's Constitution only permits presidential removal for death, resignation or incapacitation, and only the Supreme Court can declare the president "incapacitated" for committing a crime. The procedures for adjudicating an alleged crime ARE clear, though, and those procedures were not followed. In the sixth paragraph, I have taken out "impeachment procedures were not followed" and added the following:
The Embassy's legal analysis states that the Constitution does not clearly delineate impeachment procedures, but "confirms that the removal of the president is a judicial matter" where the Attorney General files charges with the Supreme Court, the Court indicts the accused president, and a full, transparent trial takes place. Congress' after-the-fact resolution "disapproving" of Zelaya also did not make the removal Constitutional.
you are so right - i have wondered for years why these women cannot see that it's all about sex. it's almost as if their breasts define them - what about lungs!?? what the hell happens when you can't breathe - how sexy is that? and by the way, my mother died of lung cancer and never smoked, never had a health problem in her life, did not take any medication, never underwent surgery of any kind before being diagnosed, at the age of 78. you don't have to be derelict in your health to be struck down by cancer, or any other deadly disease. linda maccartney was a lifelong vegetarian, and was taken by breast cancer. how many articles have we read - and there are many - that state you should eat vegetables, increase your intake of vegetables, they are cancer fighters? it's no guarantee. and by the way, you should eat more veggies, and less meat anyway.
Your article makes several incorrect assertions. For example, the congress was led by Zelaya's own Liberal Party (not the oppositions party) and Michelleti, who assume power after Zelaya's removal; is also from the Liberal party, the honduran constitution does not have an impechment clause so when you state that "impeachment proceedings never initiated" it is a misleading and incorrect statement.
I understand that your article addresses the PR aspect of the story, but these sort of factual mistakes should not be ignored.
Senators and represenitives should not have secret pay raises at the end of the year.
Stop private medical care for them as well.
Army Corp with 30 years or more in the service should be let go maybe then we might save a little bit of money.
