May be just a fire drill; I don't think Bush would burn down this Reichstag after filling it with people of his own choice.

Heres a link, but the funny thing is that the Capitol building has its own power plant.

Power Restored Following Evacuation of Capitol Building
UPDATED - Monday April 03, 2006 2:10pm

Washington (AP) - The lights are back on in Congress.

A power outage shortly after noon prompted an evacuation order at the U.S. Capitol. Officials say electricity was restored about 30 minutes later.

Pepco spokeswoman Mary-Beth Hutchinson says the electricity was shut off automatically after protective equipment sensed a "significant change in voltage" and tripped.

Nearby office buildings were not affected by the outage.

A Senate aide says the power system had recently been experiencing what he called low-level difficulties.

Sirens sounded and lawmakers and visitors were told to leave.

6. Part of what you're referencing is known news...from the Atlantic...

Published in the March, 2004 issue of The Atlantic

The Armageddon Plan
by James Mann
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0318-14.htm

At least once a year during the 1980s Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld vanished. Cheney was working diligently on Capitol Hill, as a congressman rising through the ranks of the Republican leadership. Rumsfeld, who had served as Gerald Ford's Secretary of Defense, was a hard-driving business executive in the Chicago area—where, as the head of G. D. Searle & Co., he dedicated time and energy to the success of such commercial products as Nutra-Sweet, Equal, and Metamucil. Yet for periods of three or four days at a time no one in Congress knew where Cheney was, nor could anyone at Searle locate Rumsfeld. Even their wives were in the dark; they were handed only a mysterious Washington phone number to use in case of emergency.

After leaving their day jobs Cheney and Rumsfeld usually made their way to Andrews Air Force Base, outside Washington. From there, in the middle of the night, each man—joined by a team of forty to sixty federal officials and one member of Ronald Reagan's Cabinet—slipped away to some remote location in the United States, such as a disused military base or an underground bunker. A convoy of lead-lined trucks carrying sophisticated communications equipment and other gear would head to each of the locations.

Rumsfeld and Cheney were principal actors in one of the most highly classified programs of the Reagan Administration. Under it U.S. officials furtively carried out detailed planning exercises for keeping the federal government running during and after a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. The program called for setting aside the legal rules for presidential succession in some circumstances, in favor of a secret procedure for putting in place a new "President" and his staff. The idea was to concentrate on speed, to preserve "continuity of government," and to avoid cumbersome procedures; the speaker of the House, the president pro tempore of the Senate, and the rest of Congress would play a greatly diminished role.
