Honduran president might find path to power despite K Street campaign

A Washington lobbying campaign to keep ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya out of power may have come up short.

In an agreement Friday between Zelaya and the interim government in Honduras, both sides agreed to allow the president to serve the remaining three months of his term if the country's Congress decides to reinstate him. The legislators have not yet set a date to vote on his return, and while the Congress originally voted Zelaya out of power many lawmakers have voiced a desire to end the isolation imposed on the country and its current rulers since the ouster.
