He was ousted because contrary to a decision of the High court of Honduras it was unconstitutional for him to add his own referendum to abolish term limits to an upcoming vote he persisted to do so. Basically he was attempting to set himself up as another president for life like Chavez in Venezuela. In fact this campaign was supported and instigated by Chavez.

The US in siding with this wanna be dictator and putting economic sanctions on this poor country is in the name of Democracy is playing into the hands of the antidemocratic cabal of supposed populist antidemocratic non-revolutionaries including Chavez. These leaders come in under the guise of democracy under a banner of populist revolution and proceed to plunder and undermine the economies of there countries. Zelaya is another of these slimy politicians who subvert the constitutions of their homelands, grab power, and destroy the basis for true economic development and shared wealth.
Don't be fooled by the populist rhetoric. They are just seeking power and riches for themselves and their cronies.
