Yeah there's no actual connection from a B61 to the president. They would either get or have the PAL code to release the weapon mid-flight. Not sure how the code gets to the pilot but I'm betting a "Dr. Strangelove" is still technically possible if the wing commander has authority to crack open the safe.

On the subs it categorically is.
They have the means to exact revenge in the absence of a command and control structure remaining.
