You misunderstand, I think. Zelaya was acting in direct conflict with the country’s constitution. The Honduran Constitution expressly forbids not only the extension of the president’s term, but even seeking the extension of that term. That’s how much they fear the ‘president for life’ thing.

What you propose is mob rule. Our founding fathers feared mod rule, which is why they gave us a Republic, not a Democracy. And our Constitution was written to protect individual rights from mob rule – to protect our ‘inalienable’ rights even from a vote of 51%+ of our fellow citizens. The Honduran Constitution is not different in that respect, I think.
