Bill > S2165

This bill calls on the President of the United States to make it the policy of the United States that it will not use nuclear weapons first, and on Congress to pass legislation supporting this "no first use" policy. The bill highlights the catastrophic global consequences of even a small nuclear weapon, the large existing nuclear stockpiles, and the high-alert status of U.S. nuclear forces, which increases the risk of accidental or unauthorized use. The bill argues that a "no first use" policy would constrain the President's ability to order a nuclear attack and that the U.S. should take urgent steps to reduce and eliminate nuclear weapons through verifiable agreements with other nuclear-armed nations.
