I highly doubt that any president has any authority over the storage medium of nuclear launch codes.

  What was the phrase before the election? “But her emails”? I’m not American, but that phrase seems to have shown up a lot and been about inappropriate storage of classified material. One can store material inappropriately even without authorisation.

  I'm really struggling to understand how you can think that. The launch codes are used by the president. If a party has access to data then that data can be replicated and stored anywhere else that party can access. The president is the authority that decides how the codes are stored, they exist primarily for his use.

  It's not hard to imagine him snapping a picture with his phone.. you know, just in case.

    Aren't they sealed? As soon as the Secret service would detect codes to be unsealed, they'd probably have to be replaced immediately.
