Could The Deep State's Corona Virus Pandemic Potentially Force President Trump To Cancel The November Election?

Does President Trump Have That Power? What Would Be The Consequences?

'The President Does Not Have That Power. Legal Scholars Are Widely In Agreement On This Point, As Are Both Republican And Democratic Election Officials. The Congressional Research Service Reached The Same Conclusion When It Investigated The Question In The Aftermath Of 9/11.'

'Technically Congress Could Delay The Election For A Bit In The Case Of An Emergency, But When The President And Vice President’s Terms Run Out On January 20, 2021, They Are Out Of Office, Period.'

'Under The U.S. Constitution, Trump And Vice President Mike Pence Cannot Stay In Office Past Their Four-Year Terms Without Being Reelected. If The Election Does Not Happen For Any Reason, Constitutional Rules Of Succession Kick In.'

'The Speaker Of The House, Nancy Patricia Pelosi, Is Third In The Line Of Presidential Succession, Is Also Up For Reelection This Year. Pelosi Would Face The Same Scenario As Trump And Pence, If The Election Were To Be Canceled.'

'The Next In The Line Of Succession Who Does Not Face Voters In November Is Charles Ernest Grassley, The Senate’s President Pro Tempore.'

President P. Joseph Leahy?

The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election Will Be One For The History Books For Beaucoup Reasons. And I Am Convinced Military Intelligence Mapped Out Every Possible Way Democrats Can And Will Attempt To Steal The 2020 Election.

Will [They] Succeed?

Not. Bloody. Likely.
