True, Miley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is not listed in the 'Nuclear Protocol'.There are only three people involved in the nuclear protocol.
1) The person carrying the football.
2) The President who gives the order and provides his code.
3) The Secretary of Defense who confirms receipt of that order and provides his code.
The protocol does not include Miley conspiring with Pelosi to seize control of the nuclear Arsenal for himself.
Protocol
Further information: Nuclear weapons and the United States
Should the president decide to order the launch of nuclear weapons, the president would be taken aside by the "carrier" of the nuclear football and the briefcase opened.[3] Once opened, the president would decide which "attack options" (specific orders for attacks on specific targets) to use. The attack options are preset war plans developed under OPLAN 8010, and include major attack options (MAOs), selected attack options (SAOs), and limited attack options (LAOs). The chosen attack option and the Gold Codes would then be transmitted to the NMCC via a special, secure channel.
Stephen Schwartz, an independent nuclear policy consultant, explained in 2018: "Once [the president's] identity is verified, he gives the order and it is transmitted down the chain of command. The chain of command goes from the president through the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and then, if we’re using long-range weapons, down through the Strategic Command, then the order is relayed to our forces in the field. It always happens extremely quickly."[9]
As commander-in-chief, the president is the only individual with the authority to order the use of nuclear weapons.[10] The National Command Authority comprising the president and Secretary of Defense must jointly authenticate the order to use nuclear weapons.[6] It is argued by Franklin Miller that the president has almost single authority to initiate a nuclear attack since the Secretary of Defense is required to verify the order, but cannot legally veto it.[11] However, Section 4 of the 25th Amendment of the Constitution allows for the vice president, together with a majority of cabinet heads or Congress, to declare the president disabled or unfit to execute the duties of the office.[12]
Any one of those officials which doesn't 'authenticate the order to use nuclear weapons' the order would stop right there, would it not?
My guess is that Milley was imagining a threat which wasn't there for political reasons.
