I would think the supernode will know the registered client's IP address. I sure hope that the President and the Vice President do not use a public P2P system, SIP or otherwise. They can use direct communication technique and protect from intercept except when somebody has physical access to the network path. By the way, criminals and terrorists can use the same technology. That is why it is important that the government focuses on intercepting broadband connectivity, not just VoIP (see the recent paper published by CableLabs on this matter - http://www.cablemodem.com/downloads/specs/CM-SP-CBI2.0-I01-070611.pdf).
