Roberto Micheletti Ba�n is a Honduran politician who served as the interim de facto president of Honduras from June 28, 2009 till January 27, 2010 as a result of the 2009 Honduran coup d'�tat. The Honduran military ousted the President, and the National Congress read read a letter of resignation, which was refuted two minutes later by Zelaya in conversation with CNN en Espa�ol; days later, the coup-plotters claimed that the Supreme Court had ordered to forcefully detain President Manuel Zelaya because "he was violating the Honduran constitution"; Zelaya was exiled rather than arrested. Micheletti, constitutionally next in line for the presidency, was sworn in as president by the National Congress a few hours after Zelaya was sent into exile by the Honduran military. He was not acknowledged as de jure president by any government or international organization. The 2009 General Election took place as planned in November and elected Porfirio Lobo Sosa to succeed Micheletti. Before serving as President, Micheletti was the President of Honduras' National Congress. A deputy in Congress since 1982, Micheletti is a member of the Liberal Party of Honduras.
