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.

Close is only good enough for horseshoes, hand grenades and nuclear bombs.

Probably a good idea. He is senile, he probably wants to launch nukes against the soviets

30 of 221 Democrat Representatives - Why should he give a damn?
Assuming, of course, Biden is aware enough to know what they’re demanding from him.

Nah, they just have to worry about some 00 buck going over their heads from the nearby balcony.

The Dems themselves are pretty much admitting that their selected President is a senile frontman who can’t be trusted with actual responsibilities. Kind of stunning, really, if we were still living in a sane country. Which of course we’re not.

Translation: “We Dems don’t believe Biden is of sound mind, and he should not be allowed to have the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons”.

Top Democrats are effectively confirming Biden is a corrupt, demented old fool who was pushed forward as a puppet for the Nov. 3 coup.

Probably a good idea for any president let alone this senile unelected president. Seems like a huge risk for existence of the human race to depend upon the whims of one person.

I suspect it may be difficult for you, but attempt to stay on topic.

Or he might decide to nuke Red states that don’t bow down to him.

Barack Obama took a nuclear response off the table when he was president EVEN if we were attacked by nukes and he wanted to take our nuclear arsenal down to ZERO. He opposed new weapons development and toured the Russians through our missile facilities.

It’s called the House seeking to usurp the Commander-in-Chief role of the Presidency.
