The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Does the POTUS really have immediate unquestioned ability, without review by any other person or body, to launch nuclear missiles?
Is there any way to change the current system, or to add some sort of checks and balances to the missile launch process?
There have been proposals to change the system, but so far none have been implemented. One proposal is to require the President to consult with a panel of advisors or Congress before launching nuclear missiles. However, this would require a constitutional amendment and could be difficult to implement.
