Trump and nuclear weapons: Should Congress limit his authority to order a first strike? (Obama, senators)

[TreeBeard]

The Senate is holding hearings on the protocol of the President's power to launch nuclear weapons. Given all the questions on both side of the aisle - at least the rational Republicans- have on Trump's mental stability, Senators are opening these hearing not held since the 40s. A it stands now, President Whack Job, has little if no restraint on his ability to launch these weapons. Senators may wish to impose some restraint on Trump to launch a preemptive strike on, let's say, North Korea.

No worry, the generals won't let Trump start a nuclear war.

Yes you were fine with them using conventional bombs to kill people, but now you are concerned. You and your ilk should give the hypocrisy a rest.

There are too many links to post to show how wrong you are about checks and balances when it comes to nuclear weapons. Of course, I would like to be in denial about it myself, if truth be known.

Here is another link if you choose to read it.
