There is a grass-roots movement, Back From the Brink (I am on its steering committee), that calls on the United States, and by extension the president, to indeed step back.

In addition, it calls for renouncing the first use of nuclear weapons, ending sole presidential authority to launch, canceling the rebuilding of our nuclear arsenal and ending hair-trigger launch alert.
