"The President shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." Article II, Sec. 3, U.S. Constitution\n\nThe State of the Union address is the name given to the speech where the president does that. Notice that there is nothing that says he has to give a speech. He could sent them a Post-It Note or IM them.

I am not sure about the Clinton Administration but I know the Bush Administration is trying to implement a "New World Order"  which the Current President Bush, his father and his grandfather are all members of the Secret Society of Yale's University better known as Skulls and Bones.  I have done research on this and it looks like this is the direction this Secret Society is going.  The "New World Order" is for one world government and only a few will benefit from this.  Here is a few links that describes what has happened so far and what to expect in the future. \n\nhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/10/02/60minutes/main576332.shtml\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_(conspiracy)\n\nhttp://www.theinsider.org/reports/new-world-order/\n\nhttp://www.rense.com/general58/suspre.htm

The president of the United States of America.  All he has to do is label you an "Enemy combatant of the United States of America".  He can do this with the stroke of a pen, under secrecy, and there isn't anything that can stop him or reverse his decision if he chooses to do so.

The Constitution provides that the president may require the opinions of the heads of the various executive departments. Early on Washington persuaded congress to create the Departments of Foreign Affairs, War, and Treasury, and the heads of these became the first cabinet. Over time more and more executive departments have been created and the opinions of the heads of the departments have become more important in the running of the government.

The official duties of the White House Chief of Staff is to organize and oversee the president's cabinet members,cabinet, and the White House staff. He also manages the president's schedule. \n\nThe president appoints, that is correct, and the Senate approves the nomination. This is how Andrew H. Card, Jr got to the White House.

It is called Order of Order of Presidential Succession\n\nBelow is the explaination and the list if God Forbid something happens tomorrow....\n\nOrder of Presidential Succession\nAccording to the Presidential Succession Act of 1792, the Senate president pro tempore1 was next in line after the vice president to succeed to the presidency, followed by the Speaker of the House. \n\nIn 1886, however, Congress changed the order of presidential succession, replacing the president pro tempore and the Speaker with the cabinet officers. Proponents of this change argued that the congressional leaders lacked executive experience, and none had served as president, while six former secretaries of state had later been elected to that office. \n\nThe Presidential Succession Act of 1947, signed by President Harry Truman, changed the order again to what it is today. The cabinet members are ordered in the line of succession according to the date their offices were established. \n\nPrior to the ratification of the 25th Amendment in 1967, there was no provision for filling a vacancy in the vice presidency. When a president died in office, the vice president succeeded him, and the vice presidency then remained vacant. The first vice president to take office under the new procedure was Gerald Ford, who was nominated by Nixon on Oct. 12, 1973, and confirmed by Congress the following Dec. 6.\n\nThe Vice President Richard Cheney\nSpeaker of the House John Dennis Hastert\nPresident pro tempore of the Senate1 Ted Stevens\nSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice\nSecretary of the Treasury John Snow\nSecretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld\nAttorney General Alberto Gonzales\nSecretary of the Interior (Vacant)\nSecretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns\nSecretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez2\nSecretary of Labor Elaine Chao3\nSecretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt\nSecretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson\nSecretary of Transportation Norman Yoshio Mineta\nSecretary of Energy Samuel Bodman\nSecretary of Education Margaret Spellings\nSecretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson\nSecretary of Homeland Security4 Michael Chertoff\nNOTE: An official cannot succeed to the Presidency unless that person meets the Constitutional requirements.\n1. The president pro tempore presides over the Senate when the vice president is absent. By tradition the position is held by the senior member of the majority party.\n2. Carlos Gutierrez was born in Cuba and is ineligible.\n3. Elaine Chao was born in Taiwan and is ineligible.\n4. In late July 2005, the Senate passed a bill moving the Homeland Security secretary to number 8 on the list. The bill is awaiting House approval.\n\nI hope this helps!!!

All the people in the Executive Branch of government ultimately answer to the President.  This includes, but is not limited to, those who work in the White House, the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, and many more.  These departments are run by people who are directly appointed by the President, and who generally follow the President's wishes in managing their department (because if they didn't they'd be replaced).  So in turn, all the people who work in these departments under the departmental managers could be said to work for the President.
