In the event of a loosely defined "catastrophic event", presidential directives NSPD51 and HSPD20 would grant him full-dictatorial powers over the entire United States government, including state and local authority. With these directives, Bush has given himself the sole power to interpret the constitution anyway he chooses, and neither Congress nor the public shall be allowed to debate or disagree with anything he decides to do. All he would require is another 9/11, another Katrina, another massive blackout, another anthrax attack, or another avian flu virus.
Considering the fact that he has already presided as President during each of these events, and failed miserably at every turn, I'd wager that we, the American people, are officially in trouble.
