Dozens of House Democrats Call on Biden to Give Up Sole Nuclear Launch Authority
Nearly three dozen House Democrats are urging President Joe Biden to relinquish his sole authority to order the launch of nuclear weapons, arguing that no single person should wield apocalyptic military power.
"[V]esting one person with this authority entails real risks. Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that causes other officials to express concerns about the president's judgement," according to the letter, which was spearheaded by California Reps. Jimmy Panetta and Ted Lieu.
The letter doesn't explicitly mention former President Donald Trump, but Democrats frequently questioned his mental state and composure during his time in the Oval Office. Trump often flouted the enormous power he had at his disposal, often making light of nuclear weapons and openly threatening to use them -- one time saying his nuclear button was "much bigger" and "more powerful" than that of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
