Of course. does the Civil War, The War of 1812, The spanish American War, WWI. WWII, Korean War, Viet Nam War, "The War on Terrorism", ETC., sound vaguely familiar? Presidential elections are a war in and of themselves.

Yes of course, it would be dangerous not to, or a unpopular president could just delare war to stay in power. During the American Civil War Lincoln had to run against his former General McClellan who was running on a peace platform(This doesn't mean I support our current president ). During WW2 Roosevelt had to run as well.

Are you a moron?
Yes, it can, and it has. Look at the Viet Nam war in the 60s/70s - three Presidents (Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy). Korea - Truman and Eisenhower, etc.

of course. wasn't WWII going on when Roosevelt got re-elected? I might be wrong about that, but yes we can have elections.

Lower the cost of a gallon of gas. Then find a centrist republican to run for the office.
