Does BushCo have a secret succession plan?

By GottaLaff

Now that my computer is gone forever, and until I can load a new one (or even buy one), I can't upload videos. Go here to see a clip of Jane Mayer on CNN, and to read the rest of this piece:

Mayer's book contains myriad shocking revelations about the Bush administration's war on terror policies, but it also lets some questions linger. For example, has President Bush issued a secret order cutting Congress out of the line of succession in case the Bush and vice president Dick Cheney were simultaneously killed.

Slate's Bruce Ackerman lays out the possibility.

Apparently sometime in the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan issued a "secret executive order" that in the event of the death of the president and the vice president "established a means of re-creating the executive branch." Reagan's order violated the express terms of the Constitution and governing statutes.

Does a similar order exist today? We aren't told. But we do know that Dick Cheney participated in the secret "doomsday" exercises under the Reagan order, and given his central role at present, it is imperative for Congress to find out.

Can we keep the pressure on John Conyers please?
