Yes, but for a president to be impeached there is a multi-step, transparent process in which formal charges are filed and a trial held to determine if he should be removed.

It wouldn't be done in secret with the order executed in the pre-dawn hours with a media blackout in place while he was forcibly exiled.

By that logic they could have shot him dead, as there is no prohibition against that, either.

There was no procedure to remove him or not to remove him so they broke nothing.

“Plus once you have removed an elected president by force, it becomes more likely that it will happen again.”

Again how else do you remove a President that defies the Courts, legislators and the Constitution?

In regards to legitimacy, once your government has decided to do whatever it wants when it wants to, it damages its ability to claim legitimacy for itself.

Plus once you have removed an elected president by force, it becomes more likely that it will happen again.

We'll see what comes of it. Could well be that they made a tactical error. It's still not one I find outrageous.

I still think that most of the culpability falls not with the actions of those three bodies but with the failure of the constitution to give them a more legitimate avenue to attempt to remove a president from office.

It's likely that the (apparent) unanimity between congress, the military, and the courts would have met whatever threshold might have existed.

The irony is that he may yet find himself back in the country and in jail facing charges, yet empowered in the justeyes of some in the public and in the international community because of the coup. These types of actions actions tend to have any number of unintended consequences and the situation is far from over. The coup has taken a president who was creating an constitutional crisis and made him the victim and it has weakened the legitimacy of congress, the Supreme Court and the military.

What they need is a mechanism for impeachment. Beyond that, he could be convicted of a crime and still not be constitutionally removed from office. Honduras was likely in for six more months of the president trying to break the law and the courts and military trying to stop him. That strikes me as problematic, not the least of which because they could fail.

And I find this formulation odd:

Steve seems more outrage by a possible small infraction of their Congress, Supreme Court and military than the large infractions by the former President.

How is arresting and exiling an elected president a "small infraction"?

I stand by the basic point, however.

From my perspective, the president tried to do something outside his authority to extend his grip on power. Not something that should be taken lightly. In return, the court and the military did something outside their authority. Also not something to be taken lightly. I guess I'm less inclined to be outraged at the latter because they stepped in and then stepped away leaving others (the legislature) to determine what happened next (who the next president would be). Had they said "We're in charge until this is all sorted out" or even "This is the guy in charge now" (and that guy had strong ties to the military), I would be much more alarmed.
Instead, what appears to have happened (and if my perceptions are wrong, let me know), three branches of the government cooperated in the transition. That's very far from ideal, but also a quite different thing (in my mind) from the military stepping in and assuming control for itself.

But the problem here is that the constitution (apparently) lacked provisions for removing the president. That is what needs to be changed. Then the military won't have an opening to intervene again (unless they are determined to be a part of that process). It's definitely not a good thing to have men with guns "winging it", which is why rules need to be put in place. The system broke down. I find that far more scary than what happened, because what happened could have been a whole lot worse.

Yes, the ONLY option was exile. It's so obvious.

Let's see: his term was to end in January and if the Court coudl order the military to oust the president, I suspect they could have ordered them to collect the ballot boxes or any number of other things.

This notion that the ONLY way to solve this is arrest, exile and replacement of an elected president is laughable.
