    Unless you have a stock of batteries or a generator.
    Paying taxes is no guarantee of anything the government does
    or allows.

    What do you do when the batteries run out and the generator runs out of
    fuel?

    How dull are you anyway? He joined during his inauguration as
    predident when he simultaneously became commander in chief. As a
    former president once proved, he can, on his word only, send a fleet
    halfway around the world, leaving the Congress to allocate money if
    they wanted them brought back.

    Technically they have no such rights. It is wholly owned and
    operated by the US. Others have no jurisdictionin to control any
    aspect of it. Were the US to permanently shut the whole thing down,
    others would have no legal recourse. Similarly the US could turn off
    all their electrical plants and bomb all their roads into uselessness
    with no one to say them nay. As could all other nations wtr power
    plants and roads.

    The President is a civilian.

    Judging by recent US activity the rest of the world could see it as an
    act of war and respond appropriately.

    Yup, they could quit using it.That would be an appropriate response for
    something they receive free of charge.

    Careful, Sam. In the not-too-distant future people with these skills will need
    to be registered with the Department of Homeland Security. Suspect unlicensed
    navigators will be blindfolded, dropped by helicopter into a remote wilderness
    setting and asked to report to the nearest police station. Success will be
    proof of guilt, and rewarded with an indefinite stay in Guantanamo's notorious
    "Camp Navstar".
