Ok, now I remember its that thing that goes off at 3am if the TV us on..but I'm trying to think of a scenario that it would be used. Granted, it would have a lot more credibility than CNN but I'm trying to imagine how it would be used in this scenario, I'm sure somebody here could enlighten us. Would it be used for election announcement? Announcement that the big players are taken into custody? I would assume there would be some "proactive measures" in place (i.e. like the National Guards ready immediately after Nov. 4) for the pending chaos..You need to review history. I'm certain that there is POTUS authority that allows for the White House Communication Agency to take control of the national broadcast stations to allow the POTUS to address that nation. Now it may need to be some sort of national emergency or other event.........think about it. As well as the Emergency Alert System...
Emergency Alert System
- The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national public warning system that allows the president to address the American people within 10 minutes during a national emergency.
