“This morning I spoke with Coalition President Mark Millie to discuss possible precautions for an unstable president to start a military war or to access a code of conduct and a series of nuclear strikes.” Pelosi, de-California, explained in a memo.

And military officers with adequate protocols to prevent the uncontrolled action of the irregular president.
