President Jimmy Carter lost his nuclear launch code and found it from dry cleaning center.

The briefcase that holds the nuclear launch codes used to authorize a nuclear attack by a United States President while remotely situated from the confines of fixed commands centers like the White House Situation Room is called a nuclear or atomic football, atomic black box, or president’s emergency satchel. 

This so-called nuclear U.S.-Presidents-who-lost-nuclear-launch-codes-or-biscuits football can only be activated once some code has been punched into it. The name of this code also goes by another even funnier name, and that is ‘biscuit’. The president keeps custody of both the football and the biscuit.

Speaking of keeping… At the height of the Cold War, President Jimmy Carter supposedly happened to share his biscuit with the dry cleaners after he mistakenly left it in his suit. You can imagine the measures that were put in place to ensure things were fine given it was in the middle of the Cold War and such instances were beyond imagination. Another time in 1975 when the Peace Conference was held in Paris, President Ford also lost the biscuit! Another president who has lost the nuclear launch code is President Clinton who lost it for months. To make matters worse, he even lied to the military about its whereabouts.
