How many nuclear bombs would it take to destroy the world?
I don't think that this question should ever be answered in great detail, since so crazy person out there is probably going to then blast this world to smithereens. I'm sure the amount of nuclear bombs could be calculated, but then, who on earth would want to know that? We'll all be dead and that is that. Thankyou.
How many times can the world be destroyed by nuclear weapons?
As stated, the question is overly obvious; the world can be destroyed only once because once it is destroyed, there is nothing left to be destroyed, right? How many times could the same ceramic dish be shattered? More than once, but only if you are willing to glue it together again, and if the whole world were to be shattered, there would be no one left to glue it together again (unless you are expecting aliens from outer space to take an interest). However, you might have been thinking of the principle of overkill, that the nuclear arsenals of the world contain more weapons than would be needed to destroy the entire world. At a rough guess, the total inventory of nuclear weapons in the world is sufficient to destroy a dozen worlds at least (if we had a means of getting to other worlds, of course). But the Earth can be destroyed only once.

Does the President of the United States have a 'red button' to launch Nuclear Missiles?
No, the President of the United States does not have a "red button" of any sort, in the Oval Office or elsewhere. Nuclear Missiles cannot be deployed from a direct command from the President; his command must be confirmed by the Secretary of Defence before the military take action. Note that the Secretary of Defence cannot authorize the launch of Nuclear Missiles without the President first doing so. Nicknamed the "Football", a black briefcase is carried with the President at all times. The briefcase is believed to contain nuclear codes and various pieces of equipment that authorize the deployment of Nuclear Missiles wherever the President is in the world; it functions as a mobile hub in the strategic defense system of the United States.
