One must envy the hubris of this repeated failure thinking it’s up to him. https://t.co/lUfnO46I84

Freaking out about stupid thinks Jared Kushner says is giving him way too much credibility.

And in case there's any ambiguity on the point:

It’s not just Kushner who can’t postpone Election Day.

It’s also his father-in-law, Trump.@ElectionTask explains here 👇.

And for anyone who thinks "But the Supreme Court!":

The general election is governed by a combination of the U.S. Constitution, federal law, and state and local laws. None of these gives the president any authority to change the date of the election or to extend the current presidential term past January 20th.

Under our constitutional system, the president has only the powers set forth in the Constitution or delegated to him by Congress. Neither the Constitution nor any statute passed by Congress gives the president the authority to cancel or postpone an election, even in an emergency. The powers that Congress has delegated to the president and various executive agencies to respond to emergencies, including public health crises, are limited. The president has no “plenary” or absolute power either generally or during the emergencies covered by these laws.

Nor does the president have any form of ​unwritten authority to order an election canceled or postponed. The general power to order or enact measures to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people is vested primarily in state governments [under the 10th Amendment].

And even if he tried, the term of office ends on January 20, 2021, placing the Speaker of the House (probably Pelosi) in the Oval Office on January 21, 2021.  Which would give her an ideal opportunity to begin investigations of Trump & Co., because she'd have no reason to think about her re-election to the office.

I mean, if you want to engage in wildly theoretical possibilities....
