As Schiavo entered her seventh consecutive day without food and water Thursday, Bush was a target of mounting pressure to intervene and save her.
Despite getting "a lot of advice" on TV and the Internet about how he should take custody of Schiavo, Bush said he would not exceed his authority.
"There are a lot of things that go on in society that trouble me, and this is certainly one of them. To have somebody starve to death troubles me greatly," a weary-looking Bush told reporters in his Capitol office. "We have done everything that we can, and we will continue to do so, within the powers that I have."
