How did Cuba almost cause a nuclear was between the soviet union and the US?
The Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1962, The Soviet Union, in collaboration with Fidel Castro, began building nuclear missiles on the Island of Cuba. Because the Soviets technology at the time limited their nuclear missiles range, they felt that having missiles in Cuba was the only way of defending against an attack by the United States, whose nuclear arsenal could reach the Soviet Union at any time. Castro, after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, thought that another attack by the U.S was inevitable and agreed to the Soviet installations. President Kennedy imposed a quarantine on the island by surrounding it with naval vessels and ordered the missiles to be dismantled. Several tense days went by, and the world was on the brink of nuclear war. the worst day being October 27th when a U2 reconnaissance plane was shot down. On October 28th, The U.S and the Soviet Union came to an agreement. The missiles and bombers would be removed from Cuba, and the U.S agreed not to invade Cuba, thus ending the crisis.

Can the President fire nuclear missiles without the approval of the Senate?
The President is the Commander In Chief of the US armed forces, and as such, he is fully empowered to make any decision and issue any order that he deems to be necessary to deal with a military threat to the US, and that would include firing nuclear missiles. If the US were under attack, that would not be a good time for the President to go to Congress and see if he can persuade them to authorize military action. However, the President can't declare war, on the Congress can do that. It may be that actually declaring war would be superfluous, if nuclear missiles were already fired.
