This has to be treason! These Democrats are overstepping their duties to remove a responsibility that doesn’t fall on them.

On Wednesday night, President Trump said obtaining the “football,” “nuclear codes,” was a sobering feeling. Now two Democrats are pushing a bill to take that option away. This wasn’t done to Barack Obama, and most of America didn’t trust him at all.

When will Democrats learn that short-sighted legislation is a poor choice? The reason there cannot be a committee approach is that the decision needs to be made immediately and cannot wait for Congress to be assembled and debate and vote. This is hypocritical and childish. You can’t pick and choose what powers the president (and any aspect of the federal government) has based on who is in office.

If you do not like the president to have this much power, then why did Congress allow it to happen in the first place?

From Fox News:

Two Democratic lawmakers introduced legislation Tuesday that would prevent President Trump from launching a nuclear weapon without a obtaining a congressional declaration of war. Foreign Policy reported that the bill was introduced by Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif. The article notes that Lieu has a paper sign outside his office that reads, “Alternative Fact Free Zone.” Under current law, the U.S. president can order a first-use nuclear strike even if the U.S. is not under nuclear attack. Trump was asked by ABC News Wednesday about the responsibility of receiving the nuclear codes and responded that it was a “very sobering moment. “It’s very, very, very, scary in a sense.” During the campaign, Hillary Clinton made it a point hit Trump on his temperament and what she called his erratic use of Twitter. She said, “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”

Markey sounds like he’s full of Malarkey. It comes down to response time, delay the response, and we open the door to a major first strike option from the other side.

Do you think that President Trump would ruin this world to prove a point when he so clearly loves his children and grandchildren? People who come up with this crap or believe it is simpleminded.

Trump has never expressed any desire to launch nukes. This is a waste of time and money.
