- Whoever breaks this disposition or proposes its reform, as well as those who support this directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in the performance of their respective positions, and will be disqualified for ten years to perform any public function."

- She faces criminal prosecution for these charges.Manuel Zelaya appointed Rodas as his new Foreign Minister in January 2009. In early 2009 Rodas tried to fire people from the Foreign Ministry, but lost in court.
- She violated court orders. On June 24, she called the country's constitution "an eyesore".After she was fired by the new interim government, she appointed her nephew to manage the Honduran embassy in Nicaragua.
