The president of the United States can, in theory, launch nuclear war by personal decisionâwithout any checks or balances. Whether we really think any of the candidates for president in 2016 would cavalierly start a nuclear war, the bombastic and bizarre character of much of this yearâs electoral debate should make us take this question seriously.
