On the other hand, adjourning both houses of Congress always has been an intriguing feature of the Constitution, too. “calling for his removal or resignation; and he refused to honor the articles of impeachment”

“shall be removed” is pretty clear. On the other hand, adjourning both houses of Congress always has been an intriguing feature of the Constitution, too.

If the people democratically elect a President, we must honor the president, no matter if we like him or not (Chavez, Zelaya, etc) - even if he is a communist.

I just think that it was coerced.<br><br>I would ponder what would happen in the United States if Congress impeached a President by calling for his removal or resignation; and he refused to honor the articles of impeachment. Would our military (or FBI) force him to? Would the left then demand his reinstatement even if it violated the Constitution to do so? Just curious.

If the people democratically elect a President, we must honor the president, no matter if we like him or not (Chavez, Zelaya, etc) – even if he is a communist. However, in the case of Zelaya, he was legally removed from power. To give him back his office is not a just maneuver. But if the Honduran legislative entity thinks that is the best course, then so be it. I just think that it was coerced.

I would ponder what would happen in the United States if Congress impeached a President by calling for his removal or resignation; and he refused to honor the articles of impeachment. Would our military (or FBI) force him to? Would the left then demand his reinstatement even if it violated the Constitution to do so? Just curious.
