In the United States, a single person is authorised to make the decision to use a nuclear weapon - the president. He is not required to consult with any advisors before issuing a launch order. No one in the Defense Department, Congress, or the judicial branch can lawfully prevent the use of nuclear weapons once the president’s order is given. Does any other member of this Forum share my concern?

I shudder at the thought of nuclear weapons period.
Nobody in this big old world would have to worry about being annihilated by the nuclear bombs or weapons of mass destruction if they did not exist in the first place.
It's not been confirmed, but it has been told the biscuit went missing for several months while Clinton was in office. How scary is that! Thankfully, the gold codes/launch codes are changed on a daily basis.

Here’s to hoping Obama took the nuclear codes with him. I have utterly no faith (or respect) in the man occupying the Oval Office at this time. It scares the poop outa me.....

Living in the country right next door you can bet we have concerns in Canada. We're afraid that, based on watching/listening to him on a daily basis, anyone could talk him into "pushing the button" just by telling him how wonderful he is and then whispering "Do it Donald". His decisions are all based around supporting that gigantic ego of his. :(

I remember reading a book called the cold war, and the nearest we all came to WW111 was during the Cuban Crisis in the 50s when one night two American bombers took off from an airbase over here, with nuclear bombs on board and headed out towards The USSR waiting for the order, fortunately they were called back at the last minute. Kennedy was President at the time.
