Christ. For the life of me, I don't know where that one post went, but...AH HA! PC Gamer, August 1999, page 73! There's an article on Deus Ex, and they had this in a bit out the conspiracy theories that inspired the game:

"THE PRESIDENT HAS THE POWER TO SUSPEND THE CONSTITUTION
Actually, this isn't so much a theory as an easily documented fact - Roosevelt installed the power of executive order to suspend normal rights and privileges. As Warren Spector notes, there is detailed documentation on how the government would be suspended but not so much as a single sentence on the books to describe how normal democracy would be re-instated. As Nelson Muntz would say, 'Haw-haw!'"

Huh. Kinda sounds...relevant to this day and age, don't it? I was off on a few bits, but yeah...we're screwed. Screwed straight to Hell.
God bless America.
