NO!
Some might be wondering why the President would want such power. It has to do with the fact that enemies now have the ability to hack our sensitive military computer systems and other systems such as our Power Grid.
In theory a foreign nation could launch an attack to shut down the entire or large portions of our electric grid.
If there was information showing that such an attack was imminent or happening the President would want to "pull the plug" on the internet in order to stop the attack. This is the same basic idea as pulling the plug on your computer if you ever noticed it was hacked and bad things were happening.
