I think legally -- there is very little he can do. In fact, if he keeps faith with the Constitution, he probably can't do much officially.

But -- there is something he could do. He could Board Air Force One, fly to Florida. Stop outside her hospice and pray. He could hold a Press conference announcing his desire to see her. Saying that he intend to ask Michael Schiavo personally, to allow him to bring her water. He could grab the bully pulpit and let the people know that it is wrong, just flat wrong, to terminate the life of a defenseless and disabled woman on anything less than her own written medical directive -- and other states owe it to erri Schiavo to build greater protections into the law. He could further say -- in this press conference, that it is unacceptable that the murdering pedophile who killed that 9 year-old girl will have more rights and more legal avenues of appeal to save his life, then Terri has to save her life.

If he does that -- if he remembers the power of the bully pulpit -- he will truly be an extraordinary President.

"He could grab the bully pulpit and let the people know that it is wrong, just flat wrong, to terminate the life of a defenseless and disabled woman on anything less than her own written medical directive"

That is an outstanding idea.
