Pelosi urges new law to limit president's use of nuclear weapons
By Mike Lillis - 10/12/17 03:15 PM EDT

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pressing Congress to bar the president from using nuclear weapons unless the United States is attacked first.

“I put this in the category of ‘urgent,’ ” Pelosi said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. “We each take an oath to protect and defend.”

Pelosi said her promotion of the nuclear “first-use” concept has nothing to do with the volatility surrounding President Trump, whose saber-rattling with North Korea and threat to scrap a nuclear deal with Iran have raised plenty of concerns on both sides of the aisle.

Because we need congress to assemble and argue over whether to retaliate...if we can find all the bits to assemble them...

I could be wrong, but hasn't it always been the policy of the United States (regarding the use of nuclear weapons) that we do not renounce "a first strike" ?

Frank, I usually get a smile from you.

But this time I couldn't have phrased it better myself.
