Bush has long claimed the constitutional power to do what that detainee bill that Congress passed is now giving Congress' stamp to: declare any American to be an enemy combattant and to have no constitutional or civil rights whatsoever, imprisoned at the pleasure of the President through the military forces under his command.

There is no "how long". It's already here, it's just been applied on an individual basis so you and most of the country hasn't noticed.
