Of course...we had an election in 1864 during the Civil War, and an election in 1944 during World War II.

That would depend on if the country were at war during the election of the President, so in theory yes, but I believe you were trying to ask if we could elect a new president to replace the current one during war.
NO

Yes. The nonsense that it might be bad policy is also flawed if it is an argument to trump all others. And in the USA we have sadly not exercised the Congressional oversight of formally declaring war as the Constitution requires when necessary.

the president can call off the election during time of national disaster so look for the mushroom cloud to appear sometime around sept 2008

Yes, there was an election in 44 but Roosevelt won, but if things had been as screwed up as under this %^&*( he'd of lost.

Yes. If it's election time and we happen to be at war. Same as during peacetime.

They often are! Elections are in the Constitution, and changes require an amendment.

only if the presiding president steps down,
those were the terms that gave Roosevelt a third term in office,
and then only if it is a declared war.
