So far no one seems to be discussing the "volunteer". S/He can fight back. Use the butcher's knife against the president. Maybe even be in the right, or not. The moment this person "volunteers" to carry the codes inside, it becomes suicide, even if it never happens, they have to be ready to be hacked to death, and not try to avoid it when the moment comes, and this I believe is next to impossible, and effectively compromises the president's ability to carry out whatever actions deemed necessary. It's a nice thought experiment, but not more than that.
