Without a context this is rather fruitless.
In terms of the NPT, the US is listed as a nuclear-weapon state. By interpretation and association of the agreement we have the right to have nuclear weapons. It all comes down to how many and what other agreements we make with other nuclear-weapon states.
BTW as advice, the terminology of the question is misleading. There is a difference between an atomic, or nuclear fission, bomb and a hydrogen, or nuclear fusion, bomb. The easiest way to discuss the subject is the terminology as listed in the NPT and reference the weapons as a whole by nuclear weapons.

Yes.
The U.S. and only the U.S. in my opinion.
so vote other pleaseFrom a legal standpoint, there doesn't seem to be anything prohibiting the US (or pretty much any other nation) having nuclear weapons.
I think an more interesting question is whether there could ever be a viable situation where it would be legally and morally acceptable to actually use them?

I voted Yes to the actual question. I commented further because reality is more complex than any yes/no question.so vote other please

We invented them.
If any determination is ever made to the effect that we don't have a right to have them, I'd like to see who's going to try to take them away from us.
No one has a "right" to gain nuclear weapons.
The US probably has the most legitimacy to be holding nuclear weapons of all nations out there - but there is no such thing as a right to nuclear weapons.
