Over thirty House Democrats are asking President Biden to consider renouncing his authority to launch nuclear weapons.
In terms of alternatives, the two California Democrats suggested a number of options.
One would be to require that the vice president and speaker of the House of Representatives concur with the president’s decision to strike.
Another option would be requiring certifications from the secretary of defense that the strike order was valid, as well as the attorney general that it was legal.

Why would they ask that? We were told throughout the election that the conservatives were wrong and that Biden’s mental faculties were intact. Has he had some sort of “sudden, unexpected” decline?
30 of 221 Democrat Representatives - Why should he give a damn?
Yes, deep inside baseball stuff.
The dynamics are most interesting.
No need to worry about the nutty dems starving to death!
Because they will eat each other first.
Realizing what they have done have they?
Immediate retaliation and mutually assured destruction are the two key components of avoiding nuclear annihilation. I hate Biden but taking this power away from the POTUS is treasonous. Not surprising that the demorats are pushing for this.
I doubt that he really has control now. There is no way he is alert enough to handle it.
” President is a senile frontman who can’t be trusted with actual responsibilities. “
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”
This is a very difficult thing for Bidan et-al to actually do, given that Bidan does not have the actual codes to give up “sole power to launch”.
Maybe if they put some extra raisins in his rice pudding?
The world was in far more danger when that power in the 1950s was dispersed to commanders. It wasn’t until the JFK era that that power was finally consolidated in the Presidency.
“they just have to worry about some 00 buck going over their heads from the nearby balcony.”
Neighbors every should hold that same worry.
But the first round should be birdshot.
“The Dems themselves are pretty much admitting that their selected President is a senile frontman...”
...THEY KNEW THIS ALL ALONG IMO. This is all for show so when they do give him the boot, their bone headed voters will support it.
Obviously China wants control of our nukes.
In a strategic SHTF They could have minutes to get the Commander ( yes, the CinC) to issue the order ....so let’s make sure the demented Pelosi thinks it will get democrat support, and get the AG to weigh in with a legal opinion!
Yippee Kay Ay
If Nancy really cared about national security, they would go ahead and invoke the 25th. But what they hoped to do was cloak Bidens dementia and get away with all the other NWO/socialist/communist agenda with Biden always portrayed as the centrist leader (laughing to myself as I type that). Of course we all know Biden is an unleashed radical, as well as pretty much a puppet for other extreme leftists.
I’d fire a couple of nuclear blasts over their heads!
If he’s so inept, they should do the right thing and invoke the 25th Amendment, not keep him as a figurehead in violation of the Constitution.
The next thing you know, Congress will the ability to declare war to be an exclusive privilege of Congress...
Just hire a bunch of Chinese programmers to develop a launch algorithm. Make sure it is connected to the internet so it can detect threats in advance.
Democrats MAY get the War they so desperately need.
"Wow, Nancy's and Kamala's homes with one shot, bet they didn't expect that."
They wanted 25 months out of him first.
Personally I dont think he lasts 6. I try never to wish ill on anyone, but if he stroked out tomorrow, I’d be happy with the national gushing and mourning being another excuse to delay the left agenda. I wouldn’t watch any of it. The media would parade his corpse and coffin for weeks. It will be nauseating. But it would be another temporary delay in their plans to destroy the nation.
