Bush with his finger on the button is a pretty scary
thought in a world where things might suddenly not be going in the U.S.'s
favour.

From what I've undestood Pete, I could be wrong. It is 'classified' as to
the
ones (and there's more than ONE person) who has the button so too speak.

You figure, there's submarine/silos/etc.


This is true, but since there's only one person that can give the order
(unless he is taken out, in which case it follows a line of procession layed
out in the Constitution), then the president does, at least figuratively,
have his finger on the button.
