Honduras

The U.S. Supreme Court is going to hear arguments stating that Obama isn’t qualified to be President as he doesn’t meet the citizenship requirements. Should the court rule him ineligible, all hell will break loose. I don’t think that there is a chance in a trillion of that happening.

Having discounted the chances that that will happen, let’s say for sake of argument that it does. The Supreme Court rules that Obama isn’t eligible to be president. Obama laughs at the ruling and states that the majority of they people that voted elected him and he is staying put. The Joint Chiefs of Staff which have sworn an oath to the Constitution and the American people remove Obama from office and place Joe Biden in as President of the United States. Under these circumstances, did America just have a military coup or did the constitutional process, enforced by the military, take effect?

What does this have to do with Honduras? Honduras has a clause in their constitution similar to that of the U.S. Constitution that states that the president can only serve two terms. Recently, towards the end of his second term, the President of Honduras decided that he was going to have a petition election to allow him to serve for a third term. The opposition filed suit and the Supreme Court of Honduras ruled that the petition election was unconstitutional and that the then serving president couldn’t serve again. The President decided that he wasn’t going to follow their constitution or their Supreme Court’s ruling. The military, all sworn to protect the country and the constitution stepped in and removed the president. The legislative body of Honduras appointed their leading person to fill in as president.

From what I have read and hear about the change in leadership in Honduras, the military was performing their sworn duty to uphold their constitution as ruled by their Supreme Court. I fail to understand President Obama’s position on this matter. President Obama has aligned himself with the likes of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chevez. Neither are supports of democracy. This was not a violent overthrow; it was their constitution process working.

Write your Representative and Senators and request that they support the new Honduran government.
