In one of the more intriguing political moves in Washington considering Joe Biden’s increasingly obvious incompetence and probable dementia, a group of Democrats in the House of Representatives wrote a letter to the man himself and requested that he share duties surrounding what is known as “the nuclear football,” the devices that the president uses to authorize the use of a nuclear weapon.
Rep. Jimmy Panetta and thirty of his fellow Housemates made the request.
“As president, two of your most critical and solemn duties are the security of the country and the safeguarding of its nuclear arsenal. You alone possess the authority to order the use of nuclear weapons, which assures that nuclear weapons remain under civilian control,” the letter states. “However, vesting one person with this authority entails real risks. Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment.”
“While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so,” the letter adds. “The military is obligated to carry out the order if they assess it is legal under the laws of war. Under the current posture of U.S. nuclear forces, that attack would happen in minutes.”
Naturally, the lawmakers request further reforms that would strip more executive powers from the president regarding nuclear weapons. And then came the guilt trip.
“We note your distinguished record and leadership on nuclear arms control and nonproliferation as senator and vice president. We ask you to lead again,” the letter continues. “As president, you will have the final say on any changes to U.S. nuclear foreign policy. We respectfully request that you, as president, review ways in which you can end the sole authority you have to launch a nuclear attack, and to install additional checks and balances into the system.”
Brilliant! We can form a committee to review the situation and get input from Congress while the enemy turns us into a nuclear waste pit…
Why is this coming up now, as the Democrats supposedly have their man in the White House? That is a very good question. It could be part of building a 25th Amendment case, and it could be a power grab.
Whatever the case, it looks like Joe Biden’s own party does not trust him.

Nearly three dozen House Democrats on Monday called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, in the latest appeal to reform the command-and-control structure so that no single person can initiate a nuclear war https://t.co/AOIHaYf1b4 pic.twitter.com/OSKJ64d3cW
