Is Bush going to leave office?

Asked by hoosier_banana (829points) October 13th, 2008

Silly question right? Directive 51 and a combat brigade assigned to the “homeland” suggest otherwise.
”...if you look at that National Security Presidential Directive, what it says, that in any incident where there is extraordinary disruption of a whole range of things, including our economy, the President can declare a catastrophic emergency. Well, we’re having these huge disturbances in our economy. President Bush could today pick up that National Security Directive 51 and say, “We’re in a catastrophic emergency. I’m going to declare martial law, and I’m going to use this combat brigade to enforce it.”-Matthew Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine
