He has complete confidence in the constitutionality of the government that will be presiding in his absence. His reasoning for stepping down is that Hondurans should be concentrating on voting and not on the political crisis.
If any problem were to arise during this time hindering the order of the country, he will immediately resume the presidency.
Micheletti said he would like to set an example by maintaining silence during the electoral process.
His final words were to all of the young people voting, “This is your country, dictate its future by voting”.

Were they by any chance broadcasting intructions to Zelaya’s henchmen as to how to boycott the coming elections?
These people that suport Zelaya are so lost in themselves and their egotistical attitude that it is almost funny.
They should get an “A+” for effort, not relly for smarts, but for trying.
It is a shame that they would back up some traitor who is so much into destroying our country, and then call themselves protector of Honduras liberty.
Micheletti has done such a great job of allowing the country of Honduras to keep a proud stance in all of this, he is the one whom we should be following.
So, I hate to see him go, and unfortunally for his beloved Honduras, he can’t be president again according to the constitution.
But if we are going to be fair and responsible, we have to take what comes how it comes.
I trully expect that next government is as patriotic as Micheletti’s was.
From (Reuters) – A Honduran television station that backs deposed President Manuel Zelaya accused the de facto government of interfering with its broadcast signal on Friday, replacing news programs with cowboy movies.
Just when I didn’t think the story could get any funnier! COWBOY MOVIES!
