There are no hereditary kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution.

When will you learn? The kwisatz haderach doesn't derive his powers from the constitution.

Bush is, in fact, the only person in America without any special powers.

Not even the power to create a special zone in which powers work when otherwise they would be suppressed.
