Correction, United States is a Republic. Additionally our votes are for our representatives in Congress. They allow us to vote on President to see what their constituents want. They can actually go against the popular vote and vote for someone else for President, but that would be stupid to go against what their people want. Nobody has used the Electoral vote to do this, but they can.
Actually Article 239 gives them the right to remove him from power immediately with a constitutional convention. Which is required to extend his term limits, per Chapter 7 of their constitution.
My post below, links off to the 1985 constitution and Google translations. In addition there is an article by Octavio Sanchez, Honduras Presidential Adviser 2002-2005. You'll see an independent us countries study which explains chapter 7 briefly. The Congress (123-0) and the Supreme Court (8-1) voted to exile him per their constitutional rights.
