The U.S. presidential authority to launch a nuclear strike remains intact as Donald Trump retains the ability to order an attack at any moment during his term.
The 'nuclear football' system, utilized since the Eisenhower administration, allows for immediate nuclear strike orders while maintaining security against technological vulnerabilities.
Each president and vice president carries a 'biscuit', an alphanumeric authentication card, to verify their identity, ensuring secure communication during national emergencies.
The bulky nuclear football contains essential materials including war plans, emergency communication instructions, and is deliberately designed to avoid vulnerabilities to hacking or technical issues.
