What event would make Bush the new US Dictator?

Question

Here's the editorial:

"Looks like the Bumbling One just gave himself ever more power. Power to control and dictate the entire government, power to really spread the gospel of happy GOP incompetence, power to command the entire wobbly American universe should some sort of epic calamity strike the homeland.

It goes something like this: Should any "decapitating event" occur in America that somehow incapacitates the D.C. power structure, should "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions" take place, well then, all power and decision making would devolve to the White House with none other than the president himself as, well, Super-Mega Lord Decider. You know, Dictator."

Answer 1

Quick question on this, where is this quote from?
Second, this event already happened. It was called 9/11. The White House used the guise of a national tragedy to take its own agenda further in the midst of dealing with the national crisis.
As most people will recall, Bush did not take ANY of the power's the executive branch possesses as a result of such actions like the Patriot ACT. They were given, practically gift wrapped in a bi-partisan push in congress. This is the truly sad part.
That being said, there are two events that would make Bush the all-proclaimed dictator of the United States and that is a 9/11 and a weak willed Democratic Congress. He had his time in power and it is sadly beginning to return as a result of politicians caving to pressure rather than fulfilling campaign promises.

Answer 2

Bush can't droop the form, even even though it truly is exciting simply by fact I puzzled if Clinton might do the comparable element in the time of his presidency. looking decrease back, the only foundation I had for thinking that way is that I hated Clinton as much as you curiously hate Bush. In my case, I lightened up.

Answer 3

If this Amnesty Bill, pushes People into Civil uprising, He
would be able to Declare Martial Law. Funny we would
Thank The Democratic Party.

Answer 4

You mean like what happened in ww2 when the Democratic President took power that would make anything the Current President has pale in comparison. If anyone would seize power in that way it would most likely be Senator Clinton if by some misfortune she elected president.

Answer 5

Watch

Answer 6

Balderdash.

Answer 7

This is America and we will never have a dictator. Two terms is all they get. You can protest all you want, please do. But do not try it anywhere else on earth, you'll be in big trouble.

Answer 8

He can't even secure the green zone with 400,000 U.S. and Iraqi troops... do you think he's competent enough to run the U.S. by himself? Hardly.

Answer 9

Where do you get this stuff from just because someone writes it doesn't mean you have to believe it you should think things out for yourself.

Answer 10

for someone you refer to as the "bumbling one", you give him a lot of credit for out smarting the rest of your overlords with this dictate.
