Is there a protocol for using nukes? Like does it have to be voted on or something? Or is it just a handful of people who can make the decision to launch it?

Well, it depends on the scenario, but it's true that the president doesn't have to have his order OK'd by another person, that there's not a two-man rule at the very top. The president alone makes the decision.
