just a theory here

ive always been led to believe a possibility is, if we have another severe war the president and key personel board Air Force One and fly around until they sort things out and get to a safe haven

but it occured to me a possible safe haven could be the space station or a similar set up

tests have already been done on people spending great lengths of time in space

Astronaut Who Spent the Longest Time in Space on a Single Flight
The cosmonaut Dr. Valeri Vladimirovich Polyakov spent 437.7 days aboard Soyuz TM-18 (1994 -1995).

the president or maybe NWO people or whatever could spend over a year in space while we all kill each other giving them more leg room when they get back

i have no evidence that this will happen im just opening a discussion

Except that you need a constant influx of supplies to live for a year...

And of course they'd need a way to get there.

And they'd need a "there" to get to...complete with all the acoutrements that Presidents and their staffs are accustomed to, and require to manage their business...and of course, the appropriate facilites and personnel to deal with those in the Presidential party who cannot stomach the trauma of a completely unprepared for and untrained for ride into orbit..,.and the attendant inner ear disturbances that could potentially result, especially in a relatively voluminous space...

I envision the President, his Secretary of State, and perhaps of Defense as well, all puking in the zero gee environment, trying desparately to get to the toilet compartment...while some catastrophic event is going on 200 miles below them...
