"The vice president is now serving as acting president,"

[zippy890]

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said.


With a signed letter to the leaders of the House and Senate, Bush temporarily transferred his authority at 7:16 a.m. EDT to Cheney, who is at his home on the Chesapeake Bay in St. Michaels, Md., about 30 miles east of Washington.

--------- So when is power transferred back? Inquiring minds want to know


He said the temporary transfer of power will end when Bush transmits a second letter to the congressional leaders advising that he is resuming the powers of the presidency immediately

Yow! bush has to transmit a letter to congress in order to be preznit again.

This seems kinda weird, think I'm going outside and try not to think about it.

2. Congress needs to shut off their transmitting machines

Or stick their fingers in their ears and tell him "Lalalalalala, I can't hear you".

End his presidency now.
