Yes. He can cancel the 2007 federal elections.
In fact, he already has.

EDIT: No, I'm a gryphon. Not a lizard. I was just wondering how long until someone noticed the 2007 issue.
The answer to your question is that Bush cannot legally do that, because the laws do not allow it. The Constitution sets an absolute limit on end of term, not subject to alternation. (20th Amendment). And only Congress can change the date of the Election .
But Bush can (and I've been betting 50-50 for the last 8 months that he will) try to suspend the elections by some declaration of national emergency.
And then it becomes a question of whether the people will allow him to get away with that latest unconstitutional illegal action, or let it slide like all the others.

The congress would never stand for that! However in TX in 1869 governor EJ Davis that lost an election in 1871 did that by surrounding himself and the capital with the Texas Rangers. I think it lasted a few days but they got him out and he was considered a RADICAL REPUBLICAN. He was forced to leave TX or be jailed.

Im sure he's even gonna try it too........... If martial law is declared as the result of some more buildings imploding oops I mean collapsing from pissy little fires, then yes Im sure he believes he's got the right to cancel the election. The question is, does he have the cajones to try it or will Cheney assassinate hisass so he can declare himself dictator?

Hush, that's a secret, how dare you ask the Great and Powerful Oz to reveal his plans, you are unAmerican, you are a commie with big feet, you are a (gasp) Hillary lover!!!!
Your mother wears combat boots. And not in a good way.
Bushiness is next to godliness, you don't ask questions.
Mainly because you don't get answers, just ask Congress.

It would not surprise me one iota if he tried. He's that dumb.
And childish. Just look at his proclamation about Iraq: the troops will not leave Iraq while I am in office--or some baloney like that.
He's just a big-fat-dork who needs to go back to elementary school and relearn how to play nice. He also needs to wipe that condescending sneer off his face and learn how to talk to people like they aren't idiots.

No, he cannot. And he won't. That is goofy on your part. Grow up. People like you give liberals a bad name.
