You might say, HUH? Well, if you do, you have more self control than I.

Yes, that’s correct, Barack Obama will make public the entire size of the American nuclear weapons inventory, including active and inactive weaponry.

According to this article from The Telegraph, the announcement could be timed to prevent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, from hijacking the conference with demands for more global controls of nuclear stockpiles.

After a debate within the administration lasting several months, it has been decided to declassify the numbers. The move would be seen as an attempt to encourage openness from other states by demonstrating America’s progress in reducing its Cold War nuclear arsenal.

The announcement could be made as early as Monday when Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, speaks at the UN meeting to review the progress of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, according to The Washington Post.

Arms-control groups estimate the US nuclear arsenal contains 9,000 weapons, roughly 5,000 of them active and the rest in line for disassembly.

I call on the Senate and the House of Representatives to move to remove Barack Obama from office immediately under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
