Background
-
On April 11, 2002, anti-Chávez and pro-Chávez demonstrators clashed at the Miraflores Palace. President Hugo Chávez commandeered the airwaves, and asked protesters to go home, played pre-recorded speeches[citation needed], and attempted to stop media coverage of the violence. According to BBC News, a sector of the Armed Forces asked for Chávez's resignation, holding him responsible for a massacre during the demonstrations.[2] Commander of the Army Lucas Rincón Romero reported in a nationwide broadcast that Chávez had resigned his presidency,[2] a charge Chávez would later deny. Chávez was taken to a military base while Venezuelan Federation of Chambers of Commerce (Fedecámaras) president Pedro Carmona was installed as interim president.[2] This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

Clauses Within the Act, the basis for the formation of a transitional government is delineated, citing the Constitution of Venezuela. The Act principally cites Article 350 of the Constitution, which says the People of Venezuela shall disown any regime, legislation or authority that violates democratic values, principles and guarantees or encroaches upon human rights.[4] It also cites violations by the Chávez administration of Articles 43, 57, 58, 68, 136, 141, 145, 204, 211, 254, 270, 273, 279, 294, 295 and 328 of the Constitution, and it references the Democratic Charter of the Organization of American States and Chávez's resignation the day before.

Article VIII Reorganized public offices to recuperate autonomy and independence, removing officials illegitimately named to their posts as members of the Supreme Court, Attorney General, Comptroller General, and members of the National Electoral Council.

An enabling act is a piece of legislation by which a legislature grants an entity which depends on it for authorization or legitimacy to take a certain action(s). ...
Article X Upheld all other laws both internal and international, as long as they do not disagree with the present Act.
Article XI All members of the transitional government will abandon their posts once their newly elected counterparts take charge.
Aftermath According to the BBC, some analysts say The Act went outside the constitutional framework and was the catalyst that allowed the Armed Forces to justify abandoning the newly formed government,[2] returning Chávez to power on April 13. April 13 is the 103rd day of the year (104th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
After Chávez was re-instated as president, controversy regarding those that signed The Act remained. "Ladies and Gentlemen, in order for this movement for all of democratic society to go forward, at the exit of this auditorium we ask that you sign the decree as adherence to this process."[5]
According to El Nacional, among almost 400 signatures is the signature of María Corina Machado, a pro-democracy advocate and co-founder of Súmate.[6] She denies signing the decree itself, but rather a signature roll. Another notable signee is current Zulia Governor and former presidential candidate, Manuel Rosales, who says his participation was an honest mistake rather than a pre-planned coup like Chávez's.[7] El Nacional is a Venezuelan publishing company under the name C.A. Editorial El Nacional that is most widely known for its El Nacional newspaper. ...
