| 1430874 | 2017-01-22 23:30:00 | No mention of a big red button in my post, B.M. perhaps you are getting confused? As for 'The Last Trump'? I sincerely hope he is impeached ASAP and removed from office. |

| 1430876 | 2017-01-23 01:43:00 | BM, did you actually read the link you posted?Just to summarise in case you didn't, the President has the authority to launch nuclear strikes. While he doesn't physically push a button, he can initiate a strike no matter the views of his advisors, Congress, etc. So you’re trying to tell me that say the President had a reaction to some Prescription Drugs, and completely lost the plot, (trust me I’ve seen it) or, lost the plot through another Medical Event, he could single handedly declare a Nuclear Attack on another country. You know, just for fun. Of course I believe you. :lol: |

"While the President does have unilateral authority as commander-in-chief to order that nuclear weapons be used for any reason at any time, the actual procedures and technical systems in place for authorizing the execution of a launch order requires a secondary confirmation under a two-man rule, as the President's order is subject to secondary confirmation by the Secretary of Defense. If the Secretary of Defense does not concur, then the President may in his sole discretion fire the Secretary. The Secretary of Defense has legal authority to approve the order, but cannot veto it." |

Of course wiki is not a reliable source :) Too much conflicting info on this, so who really knows ? Have a read of what happened when they were worried about Nixons stability . They took away his access to launch : made it so he couldnt access the suitcase , despite that being highly illegal . |

Secondly, that is exactly what it says. The President requires a secondary confirmation from the SoD, who has no legal authority to veto the order. If the SoD doesn't confirm the order, the President can fire him. That's in your link. Choosing to ignore it doesn't make it not there. Not too sure if you're just a moron, or if you genuinely lack reading comprehension. |

This is a chat forum , not a Court Inquiry I gave a link showing 2 man authorization . You gave nothing to back up your claims . I admitted my link is not the most reliable source. You gave nothing, except an insult Resorting to insults, isnt that generally what a "moron" resorts to ? Thats twice on this single thread. If the hat fits matey :-) You decided to read into my link with your own bias . No where did it say the Pres can push the button own his own , you just read into it to suit you own opinion . Reading Comprehension is not the same adding your own 'facts' A banana for you, for acting so so so Trumplike :banana |

I read what was in the link that you posted, something you seem not to have done. What I 'claimed' was in your own link. It's literally in the same paragraph. Have you actually bothered to read it? Basically, the two man rule is purely concerned with making sure that the decision did in fact come from the President. en.wikipedia.org |
