Who Holds the Power in the New Egypt?

Egypt: Who holds the power?
The dispute between Egypt's new President, Mohammed Mursi, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, and the Supreme Constitutional Court over the dissolution of parliament has raised questions about where power lies in the country.
So who really has the power in Egypt? Think about what power is, and where it comes from, before you answer that question. Also, is there anything the US could do to steer Egypt towards a more democratic course?
