Summary of Ronald Kessler's The First Family Detail

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The president’s military aide carries the nuclear football, which is a leather-covered titanium case that weighs forty pounds. It contains a variety of secure phone capabilities and options for launching nuclear strikes.

#2 When Biden travels, he insists on only two Secret Service vehicles. In contrast, when Reagan traveled, the military aide with the nuclear football was on horseback with him. Only the president or the vice president, as their constitutional successor, can order the release of nuclear weapons.

#3 The football is so highly classified that all information about it has been incorrect. It does not operate like an ATM, with the president or vice president inserting the authenticator card and punching in launch codes to authorize a strike.

#4 Despite the obvious danger to the country, no one in Secret Service management has ever blown the whistle on Biden. His behavior is equally bizarre. He regularly goes swimming nude in his pool at his residence in Delaware, and his vice president's residence in Greenville.
