I don't believe the us has what Ukraine has. Could be wrong but i dont think elections can be suspended during wartime. He also doesn't have the power to declare war. It's why the us hasn't technically been in a war since ww2 or korea (I forget what the last official war was)
However it is looking like he is trying already to throw the election process out the window. Likely so it's easier to rig would be my guess
The issue in Ukraine is twofold.
The country is under martial law, which forbids elections and 20% of the country's electorate is under foreign occupation in wartime. Thus poisoning any election result because 1/5th of the territory's people didnt get to vote.
the US presumably, would not have the second problem
“Presumably” is carrying that sentence.
The only scenario where US territory comes under occupation is one where the US is in complete and total anarchy, where their Navy isnt stopping European, Chinese, or Russian forces from landing on its own shores. Any other scenario, North America is safe from Overseas invasion.
even in a war scenario, Mexico and Canada aren't going to try to occupy American territory.
I suppose the only other scenario would be if there was a successionist movement that tried to leave the Union.
