I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that the current existence and risk of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

Under a national emergency the Pres can remove civil liberties and declare martial law. Under a law passed 2-3?? years ago during martial law the president can suspend indefinitely all elections.
At the moment he has control of all the money if I read this right
Quote:
Sec. 5. The Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States Government consistent with applicable law. this would be Bush and the cronies "me"All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order.
