The President does not have constitutional authority to declare a federal election invalid.
The U.S. Constitution assigns the administration of elections primarily to the states. Article I, Section 4 (the Elections Clause) provides that the "Times, Places and Manner" of congressional elections are prescribed by the state legislatures, subject to Congress's authority to alter those regulations.
The Constitution grants the President no authority to administer, cancel, delay, invalidate, or overturn elections. Congress establishes the date for choosing presidential electors and the date on which they cast their votes, while states conduct elections under their own laws. Election disputes are resolved through state election procedures and the courts, with Congress playing a limited constitutional role in counting electoral votes pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment and the procedures established by federal law.
Accordingly, any attempt by a President to unilaterally invalidate an election or override state election laws would have no constitutional basis and would be subject to judicial review.
