Pres. Trump Suggests 2020 Election Delay, But That's Not In His Power

The transcript discusses the fixed date of the US election in November, which has been in place since the 1840s and can only be changed by an act of Congress. The President lacks the power to alter this date without congressional support, which is unlikely given the Democratic control of the House. Even if Congress were to approve a change, constitutional deadlines for the new Congress and presidential inauguration limit how far the election can be postponed. Political figures, including Republicans, have opposed the idea of changing the election date, viewing it as a distraction from economic issues.
