dem leaders want Biden to give up authority of nuclear code !

[yidnar]

If the president cannot handle his responsibilities due to mental decline, it;s time to invoke the 25th ammendment.

oh man ...then Harris would be POTUS....

The democrats don't want Joe Biden to have the sole authority for a nuclear launch.
Why is that?
Is Joe losing it already?

Here's how easy it is for the US president to launch a nuclear weapon

The president has sole authority to fire a nuclear weapon, but the steps aren't easy. Here's the procedure if the president called for nuclear strike.

The president has the sole authority to call for a nuclear strike. Once the call is made, a series of critical steps follow.

The president first meets with top military advisers. The meeting would take place in the Situation Room. If the president is traveling, a call is made on a secure line.

If the president still wants to go through with the strike, the order is verified. To authenticate the order, a challenge code is read to the president. It's usually two phonetic letters like "Delta-Echo."

The president then receives the "biscuit", a laminated card that's always near the president. The biscuit has the matching response to the challenge code.

The Pentagon then broadcasts an encoded message to missile crews. The message is only about the length of a standard tweet.

It includes the war plan, "Sealed Authentication System" or (SAS) codes, and the actual missile launch codes. When the launch crews get the message they open lock safes to obtain the SAS codes. These codes are compared with the SAS codes included in the message.

If fired from a submarine the captain, executive officer, and two others authenticate the launch order. Fifteen minutes after receiving the order, the missiles could be ready to launch.

If fired from land, there are 50 missiles controlled by 5 launch crews in different locations. Each crew "votes" for the launch by turning their keys at the same time.

I'm not sure why so many democrats don't trust Joe with the nuclear launch codes??

I'm posting a poll to see how many want more people in the nuclear launch control loop.
IMHO the Joint Chiefs are more than an adequate safeguard.

I wouldn't trust Joe with my car keys.

i trust the dem congressional leaders even less.

Exactly.

Sleepy Joe Biden doesn't know where he's at half the time, and was confused even as a much younger man.

However, he is the most competent Democrat Party leader out there without a doubt.

On the Democrat calendar.

It's just the first of many Trump laws. It has nothing to do with Biden, but everything to do with the 4 years we just went through with an insane dictator wannabe who had control of the button. We can't afford to take the chance of some future trump like president pushing the button because someone tweeted something he doesn't like.

wow ! Trump aint in the WH idiot !

Damn, you're smart. Can't slip anything past you can we?

they didnt try this while Trump was in office ....why dont dems want Biden to have the codes ?

Or perhaps the Congress could pass a Regency Act like the UK did in 1811, and allow Sleepy Joe's son, Hunter, act in his stead?

democrats dont trust their own commander in chief !

I already explained it. If you are having trouble, perhaps you can get an adult to help you understand.

so dems are trying to strip Bidens authority because of Trump ........wow ! you really are naive ! its a power grab by the new socialist tyrants in the dem party .

 

[skye]

The Military will NEVER allow Fake President Biden authority of nuclear codes.

Unless all the Military is full of traitors.

Which I hope and pray is not.

They are attempting to strip the authority not from Biden, per se, but from all future Presidents... and Biden.

I'm not sure how I feel about this idea. Should the need arise to launch, I'm not convinced the decision to do so is best left to committee. By the time they make a decision, odds are it would be too late.

Pssst... he got access to the codes on January 20th...

I believe the sec of def or the assist secretary of defense has to okay it even when the POTUS gives the order now. We have a 2 to launch system already. I went to college with a guy in the AF who had worked in one of the silos before he had gone back to college. According to him they had a guy one time who refused to turn the key in one of the surprise drills and his career in the military ended more or less that day and several people above him got reassigned to rest of their career desk jobs as well.

 

[candycorn]

Isn't 4 threads on this enough?

 

[candycorn]

The Democrats are right. No President should have the sole authority for a first strike.

The Dems should work with Biden to get rid of the Presdiential Pardon as well.

 

[Hossfly]

Where is Joe?

No. He did not.

Disagree all you want, pumpkin, but he did. He has the authority to launch should the need arise. You don't have to like it, but it's true. Authority was transferred to Joe Biden at 12:00:00pm on January 20th.
