    Lincoln did not delay elections during the Civil War. FDR did not delay elections during World War II.

        But Vichy Peter Baker covertly fluffed the Trumpists in power, and hoped he would never be held accountable for it.

        Hello, Presidents do not have the power to delay elections. Peter. Let's get the facts out there.

        Presidents don’t have the power to do a great many of the things Trump has nonetheless done, because the rules governing these things have only been norms which Republicans in Congress have been perfectly willing to let Trump violate to enhance their own power.

        Trump obviously only wants to delay the election because the polls show he will probably lose.

        And because announcing a bombshell like that today will distract from the economy contracting by a third.

        POTUS has no control over when elections are held. States hold the elections to form a new federal government, and a new government shall be formed.
