Joe writes, "I think my first question to a President Harris would be: How many nuclear weapons do we need?"
Too easy a question Joe. How about this?
QUESTION: "Are you going to answer all these questions directly and honestly, or will you use your considerable political skills to dodge them? Am I wasting your time and mine with this interview?"
QUESTION: "If they wake you up at 3am to inform you of an incoming nuclear strike are you prepared to incinerate hundreds of millions of innocent people in response? You will have to either push that button or not, so yes, or no?"
QUESTION: "What possessed you to apply for a job that might require such an horrific action on your part? Do you have mental health issues? Seriously. Do you have mental health issues?"
QUESTION: "How long do you think the world's major powers can maintain nuclear arsenals without using them? Years? Decades? Forever? Please give us some insight in to how you calculate this."
QUESTION: "What does America's possession of civilization ending weapons tell us about our relationship with our ancestors who worked so hard to build the modern world for us, and our children who deserve to inherit it?"
QUESTION: "Why did you only barely mention the most important responsibility of the Presidency during your campaign?"
QUESTION: "Who do you have on your staff or circle of advisors who is in a position to ask you the most inconvenient questions possible on this topic regularly, because they care more about nuclear weapons than they do their careers?"
QUESTION: "Why is your staff escorting me out of your office in handcuffs?" :-)

What can the expert community do to prepare for that moment of great opportunity?
