How many have confidence that we'd be okay if Biden got a 3am national emergency call? Think he could handle split second decisions?

A split second is longer than his attention span.

Biden would "OK" the decision.

I hope we have the best possible people in those most important places.

It wouldn't be him answering the phone

No important decisions require his input. A major decision for him involves ice cream flavors.

He's a corpse, can Obama handle it? No. You saw the Afghanistan exit.

NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE would call Biden at 3am in case of an emergency ! The call would be routed to someone else for a decision and Biden would be advised of the matter after breakfast.

FDR: Is "after breakfast" noontime EST or PST? He needs enough time to eat his Pablum to gain strength enough to fall down the stairs on Air Force 1.

The 3am call is not a split second decision. It is a 5 -10 minute decision that needs good judgement. His speach impediment does not impair his judgment.
Most emergency calls have happened before including several occasions where we had Soviet missile launch detections (false alarms it turned out). Our practice is not to shoot our missiles until we actually get hit so there is no big rush. We also want to be sure about who to shoot back at.
So wh**ever the emergency the president would probably direct the appropriate staff to assemble a couple alternate plans using available resources for the 8am briefing. Then make a couple phone calls and then go back to bed and let his staff prepare plans for him to review.
