Election for a 2nd term during which there is an unsuccessful assassination attempt.
Eventually dies at the age of 88 due to pneumonia complications.
Oh, and Nobel Peace Prize, natch.
I'm pretty sure either way he'd would be thrown out of office and possibly assassinated or wiped out in the ensuing nuclear war (depending on the scenario).
The only time he can launch a nuke without getting the permission of congress is if the military call him up and tell him that they are about to get bombed. He can't just do it himself when the mood takes him.
That sounds like a plot for a James Bond film during the Cold War. They only *think* that the Americans fired the nukes, but it was actually SPECTRE.
I agree. And the fact that he/she uses the term 'american joe ' is a little weird too. Its almost a throwback to the old WWII propaganda by Germany and Japan.
Methinks 'absoluteruler' is a fundamentalist of some kind.
Probably
Though to answer the question as any nuclear attack on Palestine would also turn Israel into a wasteland I suspect that the US President might well die in the Israeli counter-strike
Hence the Noble Peace Prize...
If a US/Palestine war was seen as a just one in the USA, I think people there would support it. The President there who ordered the use of nukes would be seen as a hero, since Americans like to idolise war veterans. This is why they voted in Ike Eisenhower, and practically in every presidential election, the candidates promote how they fought in such and such war.
I suspect most of the world would argue a case for him too.
You overlook the fact that the President is also National Command Authority, in charge of the entire US Military.
I'm not sure about that.
He is Commander-in-chief of the armed forces, so yes I agree.
