Parliament then declared the president constitutionally unable to carry out his duties and set an early election for May 25. Protesters took over the president's office, and rumors are swirling that Yanukovich has already resigned.---Rick Moran
Is it a coup? There's a theory that I've worked out that says coups in a country with a written constitution aren't necessarily coups if the leader is behaving contrary to the constitution. I don't know about Ukraine's constitution, but if it is anything like ours, then it may not be a coup to oust the president. However, it may not be the rule of law either. It all depends on what the law actually is.
