It must be remembered that the term United States also refers to a single federal state. There are at least 33 (up to 50) states of America which are independent and free and each has sovereign people in respect of each one of them. The failure of the Federal government or of the Federal state or of any state simply means reversion of power and prerogative to the states or to the people.
Just because one ship sinks doesn't doesn't stop the others from still floating. Illusionary Fantasia aims to have people thinking the sky to be falling everywhere just because its falling in one or two small locations.
Furthermore, if the government actors fail to do their jobs its called 'dereliction of duty' (a similar term is tacit resignation). When dereliction of duty is widespread enough that is the same situation as of there was a mass resigning (even if they show up to get their paychecks, its the same as if their organization dissolved). The false impression of warm bodies at desks even after the mass resignation can give the false impression that the organization is still 'in business'.
Consider that if everyone in your county resigned the fire department would you just let houses burn or would you form another fire department and put out the fires? The people of each state have the authority to direct their public officers. Consider, there are state governors, county sheriffs, county prosecutors, state attorneys general, federal judges and U.S. attorneys which can be public called out or appointed to conserve the peace. With respect to the several United states of America, there are by design many, many fallbacks and failover in case of a breakdown in operations: but you have to first realize this. It seems quite obvious that the people at all times have all of the authority than any public officer can have especially when the public officer resigns by tacit and especially when there is widespread tacit resignation or dereliction of duty.
P.S. The end of the United States is not the end of America. The states have their own governments, legislatures, etc.
