The only item I really raised an eyebrow over was the POTUS with congress approval not holding elections in 2012. We were not fully engaged at the time (meaning the nuclear genie was not out of the bottle yet) so unless the POTUS was curtailing all powers and disolving congress, I would see a major civil uprising in the US. We have ALWAYS held elections no matter that we are at war. WW2 is a prime example as the 44 elections were in the middle of the greatest war we've fought. I would only imagine a very unpopular president trying such and it would only make him/her more unpopular. It is unconstitutional, though that does not seem to sway the present POTUS and his cronies in congress. Just a thought.

Good Point. I overlooked this but I'll be interesting in any alternative suggestion.
