Delay the Election? If the Civil War couldn't stop an election, neither should a storm: But the CRS paper is unequivocal on one point: "There is no current constitutional authority residing in the President of the United States, nor the executive branch of Government, to postpone, cancel, or reschedule elections for federal office in the various States." What power there is to do that resides with Congress alone.
The last time there was any serious question about postponing a Presidential election was in 1864, at the height of the Civil War. About which, said Abraham Lincoln, "if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election, it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us." A country that wouldn't surrender its democracy to an insurrection isn't about to surrender it to a storm.

- Cheap Borrowed Money
- A Style Over Substance Mentality
- A Left-wing Takeover of Colleges, the Media, and Hollywood
- Racial Polarization
- Entitlement Culture
"It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it." -- A. A. Hodge
