Trump's finger on the nuclear button

Action alert by Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen:

As it stands, only one person on earth can order the launch of America’s nuclear arsenal.

He doesn’t need approval from any other living soul to set off a global thermonuclear cataclysm.

He doesn’t even have to wait for a congressional declaration of war.

His name is Donald Trump.

Public Citizen — along with allies like the American Friends Service Committee, the Council for a Livable World and the Union of Concerned Scientists — is supporting urgent legislation in Congress to ensure that no president can independently initiate a nuclear strike.

Tell Congress: Pass legislation NOW to prohibit the president from unilaterally starting a nuclear war.

Add your name today.

Thank you for taking action to restrain Trump.

Onward,

Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
