Some House Democrats don't trust Biden with nuclear codes

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Nearly three dozen House Democrats on Monday called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.

"...Vesting one person with this authority entails real risks", states the letter spearheaded by Rep. Jimmy Panetta of California. "Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president's judgment".

"While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so".

"The military is obligated to carry out the order if they assess it is legal under the laws of war. Under the current posture of U.S. nuclear forces, that attack would happen in minutes".

They offer a number of alternatives, including requiring other officials in the line of succession, such as the vice president and the speaker of the House — "neither of whom can be removed by the president if they disagree — to concur with a launch order".
