| Summary/Abstract |
Among President Barack Obama's first acts was to announce the closure of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and strict limits on the Central Intelligence Agency's interrogation authority. These announcements were greeted in the United States and Europe alike with euphoria among critics of the George W. Bush administration, who saw them as signalling an end of the entire global war on terror paradigm.

| Summary/Abstract |
In November 2017, for the first time in 41 years, the U.S. Congress held a hearing [2] to consider changes to the president’s authority to launch nuclear weapons. Although Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the Republican chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, insisted that the hearing was “not specific to anybody,” Democrats used the opportunity to air concerns that President Donald Trump might stumble into nuclear war [3]. After all, he had threatened to unleash “fire and fury” on North Korea, and he subsequently boasted in a tweet about the size of the figurative “nuclear button” on his desk in the Oval Office. General C. Robert Kehler—a former head of U.S. Strategic Command, the main organization responsible for fighting a nuclear war—tried to calm senators’ fears about an irresponsible president starting such a war on a whim. He described how the existing process for authorizing the launch of nuclear weapons would “enable the president to consult with his senior advisers” and reminded the senators that officers in the chain of command are duty-bound to refuse an illegal order.
