House Dems Call for Biden to Give Up Sole Launch Authority for Nuclear Weapons. The real reason? Biden’s dementia is getting worse by the day. They don’t want President Alzheimer’s doing an accidental launch.
A group of about three dozen Democrats in the House have signed a letter calling for President Joe Biden to give up his sole authority to authorize the launch of nuclear weapons, which was obtained by Politico.
“Vesting one person with this authority entails real risks,” reads the letter, which was spearheaded by Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., according to Politico. “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.”
