Three Republican members of the House Armed Services Committee said that President Joe Biden should not give up his sole nuclear authority, coming after several-dozen Democrats said the sole presidential authority should be altered.

“Democrats’ dangerous efforts suggesting a restructuring of our nuclear command and control process will undermine American security, as well as the security of our allies,” said Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), and Mike Turner (R-Ohio).
