He did so under their constitution until elections can be held as was his right.

I suppose the issue of Maduro's position is too thorny to discuss.

Your deflection is comically bad but you're not trying to have an honest conversation.

Pence Pledged U.S. Backing Before Venezuela Opposition Leader’s Move


“(t)he night before (he illegitimately) declared himself interim president of Venezuela, (he)
received a phone call from Vice President Mike Pence” – pledging to back his illegal power grab.

“The President of the Republic shall become permanently unavailable to serve by reason of any of the following events: death; resignation; removal from office by decision of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice; permanent physical or mental disability certified by a medical board designated by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice with the approval of the National Assembly; abandonment of his position, duly declared by the National Assembly; and recall by popular vote.”

“When an elected President becomes permanently unavailable to serve prior to his inauguration, a new election by universal suffrage and direct ballot shall be held within 30 consecutive days. Pending election and inauguration of the new President, the President of the National Assembly shall take charge of the Presidency of the Republic.”

Nothing stated above applies to Maduro – democratically elected and reelected by a process independent monitors
called open, free, and fair – his legitimacy affirmed judicially, an attempt by a foreign power to replace him a
flagrant breach of international law.

Dictators allowing elections and observers ? :russ:

The Maduro-led Government has been pursuing a path of self-destruction. The Supreme Court had been hijacked during the Hugo Chavez era and all semblance of judicial independence has been obliterated. Under Maduro, the National Assembly was stripped of all its powers after the Opposition parties won a huge majority of seats in the 2015 elections.



The prosecutor-general, formerly a Maduro supporter, who dared to challenge these excesses was summarily dismissed and fled the country after arrest warrants were issued for her and her husband. Last week, a member of the Supreme Court fled the country with his family, stating that he could not continue making rulings based on directives from the political executive. It is reported that his relatives have since been subject to harassment by security officials.



The main Opposition parties have been barred from contesting elections and several of their leaders imprisoned. Popular protests have been met with brutal repression, triggering a damning resolution last September by the UN Human Rights Council in which it cited a widespread pattern of “arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killings, torture, and a brutal crackdown on dissent”.
