Will Joe Biden take away Donald Trump's nuclear power? Here's what Democrats are planning

Hindustan Times  

President Joe Biden is under immense Democratic pressure to limit the president's authority to use nuclear weapons aimed to curb unilateral power as Donald Trump prepares to return to the Oval Office in January. “As Donald Trump prepares to return to the Oval Office, it is more important than ever to take the power to start a nuclear war out of the hands of a single individual and ensure that Congress' constitutional role is respected and fulfilled,” they wrote. Trump’s potential use of nuclear weapons has been longstanding issue among Democrats During his first term, Trump made numerous statements suggesting he might take such actions. At a rally in Pennsylvania in September, Trump warned, “We’re heading into World War III territory, and because of the power of weapons, nuclear weapons in particular.” The US is one of nine nations known to possess nuclear weapons, alongside China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, and the United Kingdom.
