An op-ed of mine for @washingtonpost:"No one can stop President Trump from using nuclear weapons. That’s by design."https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/12/01/no-one-can-stop-president-trump-from-using-nuclear-weapons-thats-by-design/ …

What about the two-man rule?
Does not apply to President; applies to launch officers.

So this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_football#Operation … and this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Command_Authority#Authorization_of_a_nuclear_or_strategic_attack … are wrong? They say that SecDef must concur.

It is as I describe. President orders SecDef. SecDef orders military. No discussion about whether SecDef must concur, can veto, etc.
