What caught me by surprise?
There is a movement in Congress
to take the power of the
football. The nuclear ball away
from the president
is a letter to Joe Biden on
nuclear weapons. Vesting one
person with this authority they
threatened to attack nuclear
weapons. It cut other officials
to address concerns about the
presidents judgment. They dont trust Joe Biden with
they dont trust Joe Biden with
the Nuclear football,
apparently not
one argument or another. With
regard to what extent we are
involved in foreign conflicts
and one could have one opinion
or another about as what point
it is appropriate for Congress
to declare war.

commander in chief of the armed forces.

presidents Oregon rigorous
review process.
They have to win election
once they won the election. You
really do have to pick that
horse and ride it. Let the
president be the
commander in chief,
it seems weird to me they take
that away.
Who are they going to give that
to
a committee.
