CNN ran a mock up attack to the USA infrastructure with some reps of the 
government.

The stuff was flawed in many ways, but I think the outcome of it, after each 
representative of the government arguing what the president can do and cannot 
do, was to solve the issue, the infrastructure providers needed to be involved, 
and asked "nicely" to help fix the problem, and not raided with a kill switch 
threat...or army personnel taking over all the knobs...

"The federal government would have “absolute power” to shut down the
