How does a president sign a directive like this one http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html and NOT have it broadcast everywhere in the nation?! Why did this not make headline news? To further support my point here, YOU, the reader, probably weren't even aware that this directive was signed by Bush back on May 9th! I've even heard people deny word of this by saying it's a conspiracy! Well, check the URL, people! It's The White House web page. NOT a conspiracy. This directive will allow the President, in the event of a national emergency, to take TOTAL control of the country. This includes the power to OVERRIDE THE ELECTION and remain in office. It also states that there is no congressional approval required to initiate the directive. Whatever "national emergency" seems fit to the President. This, to me, seems disturbingly similar to the Reichstag fire. To give this kind of authority to ANY one person within our government, for whatever reason, is just insane!
