FACT CHECK: NO PRESIDENT CAN CANCEL ELECTIONS

Truth: No U.S. president—Trump or anyone else—can cancel or delay federal elections.

Not during war. Not during unrest. Not even under martial law.

Why: The Constitution puts election timing in Congress’s hands only.
A president has zero authority to change it—no tweets, threats, or executive orders can do it.

History says it all:
Civil War
World War I
World War II
National crises
Elections happened every time. Democracy never paused

Stop believing claims that a president can “turn off” democracy.

U.S. elections are protected by law and structure—not by individuals.
Bottom line: Chaos ≠ cancellation.
Democracy keeps moving. Always.
