Worrying about Trump will do some crazy thing like launching nuclear weapon.
Pelosi say how far she would carry the process forward.
"It is the hope of Members that the President will immediately resign," Pelosi said in a statement. "But if he does not, I have instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward with Congressman Jamie Raskin’s 25th Amendment legislation and a motion for impeachment. Accordingly, the House will preserve every option – including the 25th Amendment, a motion to impeach or a privileged resolution for impeachment."
Some nuclear experts argue that there is little Milley could do to prevent Trump from ordering a nuclear launch, as he and other top national security officials are not technically in the chain of command when it comes to such decisions.
"Any 'safeguards' Milley may have erected to effectively prevent Trump from exercising sole authority of nuclear launch would actually be a 'coup' by the standard definition," according to Vipin Narang, a nuclear policy expert and professor at MIT.
"The procedure for nuclear launch authority grants POTUS the sole authority to order the launch of nuclear weapons," he told CNN, adding that, by design, the President is not legally required to consult with or receive assent from any one of a number of people, including the vice president, national security adviser, secretary of defense of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"None are, contrary to popular belief, in the nuclear launch chain of command. Therefore any 'safeguards' that could effectively prevent POTUS from exercising sole authority to launch nuclear weapons are either illegal or illusory," Narang added. "So long as Trump remains in office, he retains the legal authority to solely launch some or all of America's nuclear weapons until 12:01pm on January 20, or until he is removed from office."
The top four congressional leaders -- Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer and Kevin McCarthy -- also spoke Thursday night with Milley and acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller about the federal response to the breach of the Capitol building, according to a source familiar. It is unclear if the issue of the nuclear codes came up during that conversation.
Although the caucus concern is great! Some measurements had been considered to stop the retarded President's action .
So God blesses America.
