What if the nuclear football was actually a nuke

Like the title says, what if it’s a nuke that goes off killing the leader who it follows and can be triggered by the other nuclear super powers? 

cook thought experiment and makes MAD way more interesting.

What about exchange the nuke for just a small explosive device and put it on a collar, a la the old Arnold Running Man movie, and then tie it to popularity in your own area. If it slips below a certain percentage (probably around 44%) it would go off. Then mandate all governments must maintain a 3 year rolling balanced budget and watch what happens..

Do this for all politicians and measure on in there expected sphere of influence. Mayor, it’s your city, Congressman, it’s your district. Gov your state, President the whole country…

It would lead to some interesting changes. Lots of compromise in swing districts to force a consensus, probably heavy entitlements at the local level and limited entitlements at the state and federal level (it’s hard to balance entitlements and taxes).

Would it work if you put it on a treadmill?

It would be far more interesting if it caused explosive diarrhea instead.

For God’s sake don’t let Tony Romo be in charge of it, otherwise, the enemy will intercept it.

It is a prolate spheroid in which the outer leather casing is drawn tightly over a somewhat smaller rubber tubing. Better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football.

And what if it was set to go off the second aggy clinched a national title. We'd all be fine and dandy for the rest of eternity.
