Clark, That is true, once there is no power there is also no oxygen. There is probably a fair amount of oxygen for propulsion as well in a propellant tank, so there is probably enough for quite a while.
They keep breathing O2 and propellant O2 in separate storages areas. breathing O2 is purer, better, but in a pich propellant O2 is fine.
