Probably several thousand people, many of whom I would consider more than just a bit competent. Maybe some of them are even a bit too competent.

Edit: Some of my friends say 4, but I'm not so sure. Do I want to know?

I can't imagine those 4 people have any legal right to refuse an order from the POTUS.

Just the conviction that they could be 4-handedly initiating the rapid downfall of the only known sentient life in the universe.

I find it very unsettling to rely on the moral fiber of people who work for the government for the safety of the human species.

Technically, I work for the gov't. :(

If the money going into your pocket comes from a government contract, I'd argue that you do.
