'A lot of things happen when a new president takes the oath of office. They're given control of the presidential Twitter account, are told a whole lot of terrifying secrets that the general public is not ready to hear, and are given a tiny handheld device called a "biscuit" that has the launch codes necessary to use America's substantial nuclear arsenal. With it, the president can end life as we know it. Without it, America's nuclear weapons become expensive paperweights. It goes without saying that the biscuit's kind of a big deal, and presidents take the biscuit very seriously ... with one noticeable exception.'


'During his time in office, President Bill Clinton was fond of two things: impromptu trips to McDonald's and misplacing his nuclear launch codes. According to retired General Hugh Shelton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the end of the Clinton era, the president lost his codes all the time. Most of the time, the biscuit was quickly located by panic-stricken aides hoping to prevent the apocalypse. Other times, Clinton lost the thing for months. This really happened. President Clinton corroborated these stories years after leaving office.

While it's a little frightening to think at one point in time the president couldn't use his nuclear arsenal, it's important to remember that nuclear weapons are like condoms: better to have one and not need it rather than need one and not have one.'

Losing nuclear launch codes in a McDonald's, what's the worst that could've happened?
