The idea is that competent people, when given the "word" from the pres, do the actual "doing." They do what needs done in their particular area of expertise: this to me is just a plan to make it work if there ever were a cyber-attack, rather than everyone running around waiting for permission to do what they already know needs to be done. I certainly wouldn't envision Obama logging on to his computer and start doing all the things that need doing.
