No that is not correct

The President alone has the Authority to order a launch without the deceleration of war,, but we still have the 2 man rule all along the system

His order still has to be confirmed by the SecDef and yes there are rules that counter that, but let's not get silly, it always take 2 people to authorize a launch.
