in the case where members of Congress and Senate have committed high treason like our folks have, Yes!!

Trump can't delay it for 1 minute past the 1st Tuesday in November 2024.
During World War Two also. What a bunch of hooey.
Yes and the Confederate states did not participate in the Union states election. We have an embedded enemy in alliance with a foreign power now totally different circumstance.
No, but it doesn’t allow for Kenyan/British subjects being President, either.

This disease is nowhere near bad enough to.even co sider the possibility.
And so it begins.....
Technically that’s true, but it’s misleading. According to the Constitution, the Federal government has nothing to do with any popular vote for POTUS. That’s because no such vote is actually required by the Constitution. The Constitution quite clearly states that the President is determined by the electors, not by popular vote. It just as clearly states that the electors are to be chosen by their respective states in a manner to be determined by the state legislature.
Therefore, Trump cannot change the election, but the states can. There is no Constitutional requirement for an election to be held at all. The state legislatures could simply decide to appoint electors. The real election is held on the second Wednesday following the second Monday in December, December 16 for this election. Should states decide to postpone the election beyond this date and fail to otherwise choose electors, then it’s likely that no candidate will get the majority of the electoral votes (270) and the election would be decided in the House of Representatives. Despite Dem control of that body, it would not bode well for Dems since each state House delegation would get one vote — CA counts the same as WY (and all other states). I’m not positive but I think the R’s are the majority in more state delegations.
In short actions must occur for it to happen
Likelihood is zero
If the (D)ums win and there is Mail In Votes, I am for Martial Law until the vote can be verified, if at all. JMO.

That war was fought outside the “country”...
The democrats’ gambit is “second wave” hysteria must be dealt with by going to universal mail in voting. Of course if this happens, the democrats would steal everything. To counter that fear just delay going to polls until December 30. Second wave gone and assuming the Chicoms haven’t released COVID 20, it’s safe to vote in person. Inauguration Day still happens as scheduled.
No.
but the government - both demholes & (alleged) republicans routinely ignore the Constitution. Almost nothing they do is Constitutional.
