Chavez Tells CNN: 'Send them a copy of the constitution'
Several hundred thousand foes of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez marched through Caracas on Saturday to demand his resignation after the leftist leader rejected U.S. calls for early elections to end feuding over his rule of the world's No. 5 oil exporter.
"There are no early elections planned here. ... I don't think that the United States government is suggesting to the world that Venezuela must break with its constitution just to satisfy the pretensions of coup mongers," he told CNN en Espanol, a sister network to CNN.com.
The BBC, also anti-Chavez, mentions the supporter rally around the palace. I have not found the Bush administration much of a supporter of constitutions or the rule of law.
