Confirm the Definition of A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/; plural: coups d'état).

Seeing as the definition appears to be undecided at the White House, its best to let the people know if the Definition stated on Wikipedia is correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_d'%C3%A9tat
"A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/; plural: coups d'état), also known as a coup, a putsch, or an overthrow, is the sudden deposition of a government,[1][2][3][4] usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to depose the extant government and replace it with another body, civil or military. A coup d'état is considered successful when the usurpers establish their dominance. When the coup neither fails completely nor succeeds, a civil war is a likely consequence."
Just a Citizen who would like to know if what we learned in school is correct.
