An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Congress! Put limits NOW on the president's authority to start nuclear war.

126 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

I’m writing to ask Congress to put immediate limits on the president's authority to start nuclear war on demand.  The consequences of nuclear war would be horrific: instant annihilation for thousands, followed by environmental destruction, famine, and death of tens of millions in the fallout.  Which is why reports from the The Washington Post that “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence” are especially unnerving. Presidents have sole authority to launch nuclear weapons -- even Presidents that are so careless with nuclear weapons that they take classified documents about nukes to their country club after leaving office. This is too dangerous an authority to be held by one person. Right now, with the threat of nuclear war looming, I want Congress to put immediate limits on the president's authority to start nuclear war on demand. Never again should someone like Trump have the unilateral ability to end humanity. Please fix this now! Thanks.
