"Ed Lyman with the Union of Concerned Scientists said it best: "Yes, I am worried." Then again, those guys are always worried."

Our 3 Branches of Government should continue operating until the bitter end, frankly. How well they function depends on who is in the chair, but the chair has to be there. Without an Executive, Legislature and Judicial branch operating, the country would effectively be dissolved.

There are still currently two stargates on earth:
