Instead of a Kill Switch, I think it would be possible to make a Flood Switch. When enough shit would hit the fan, to make the president issue the Kill order, all bets would be off.
Let's say Americans are using Twitter or a foreign website to organize riots in a civil war, I don't think once the order is given and such a bill is in place, that the government has to ask nicely and force compliance. It will put all government computers and some very big tubes into DDOS'ing whoever is publishing something they don't want published at that very moment.
