    I thought there was something in the constitution that let the president suspend elections if the US is at war? If not, my bad, I must have misunderstood.

      We’ve had lots of elections in time of war. The major conflicts of the 20th century that resulted in a military draft century (WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam) all had Presidential election. Hell, there was an election during the US Civil War.
