Who, really, can press the nuclear button?

Whether it’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden in the White House, every U.S. President has the ability to launch global nuclear annihilation.

With President Trump’s outrageous behaviour this week, we should remind ourselves that it’s his finger on the nuclear button.

Here is an interesting video produced by our friends at Gobal Zero, explaining that there are no democratic checks on that power: no role for Congress, the Cabinet, or even senior military commanders to approve or even question the order to launch a nuclear attack.
