Greer ordered an execution order for Terri. Why can't Gov. Bush stay the order? Doesn't he have the power to stop an execution of a prisoner on death row?

If Terri had committed an actual crime instead of only being disabled, he could.

However, if I understood several Constitutional lawyers that have been yapping lately, both Bushes could intervene pending an investigation of abuses and irregularities.
