I don’t think you want to give nuclear codes to a random person, though.

Could it be worse than giving them to power hungry octogenarians?

Yes, I do think giving nuclear codes to a randomly selected literal terrorist could turn out worse than the only other time the US launched a nuclear attack. 5000 nukes to peaceful targets is worse than 2 nukes to targets at war.

If you’re going to give power to randomly selected people, you need more checks in place than just “can they pass a civics exam?”
