The similarity being that the president acts before Gen. Burt Lancaster can
overthrow him. But in the movie, Gen. Lancaster did plan to overthrow the
president, which probably isn't the case here.
The nuclear angle here reminded me of Gen. Jack D. Ripper.

Great movie, one of my favorites. Sellers was one of a very few. His portrayal of Strangelove was great :-)
