Nearly three dozen House Democrats on Monday called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, in the latest appeal to reform the command-and-control structure so that no single person can initiate a nuclear war https://politi.co/37BaPCn
Hi.
Who would have control of the “Football?”
Kamel Toe?
Not good.
Chain of command is breaking down, and moral goes south with it.

“Nuclear War by Committee” - what could possibly go wrong?

Perhaps they are preparing to replace him with Kamala and want to emphasize to the public the considerations that would "drive" them to do that (i.e., make the public think Dementia Joe has his finger on the trigger and therefore must be removed). It also provides them with the optics to falsely portray Biden as having possession of the nuclear football.
OK, my take is that this is not about Biden. It’s about Trump’s 2nd term and limiting him.
This is also a way to keep the President from retaliating after a decapitation nuclear strike (say, by Iran or China with a surprise shipping-container attack, or a Nork EMP).
Does Congress want to make a group decision on targeting Mar-a-Lago for a drone strike, too?
