You're pretty naive if you think Visa matters can't be cleared up in 24 hours. I was able to get a Brazilian visa expedited in less than 24 hours when I lost my passport before and I'm just a random dude with no connections.
If you don't think the NSAC has any ability to expidite a visa you don't know much about how these things work.
I don't believe you. In fact I think you are making up a story to defend Aldo. My experience with passports in the US says that nothing ever takes 24 hours unless you have a sitting US Senator bringing the heat.
Important Notice to Applicants
Due to high volume and systems issues, approximately 3.8% of passport applications received between June 5 and July 15 are experiencing processing times beyond the normal 4-6 week timeframe for routine applications.
If you applied for your passport before July 1 and have not received it, and you are traveling in the next 2 weeks, please contact the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778 for assistance.
We apologize for the inconvenience and are working hard to process all passport applications within the stated timeframes.

I doubt Brazil is more efficient.
