I'll wager with you right now that he will eventually order them suspended.
Since they wouldn't unanchor my thread on Cain's death so I could humiliate you in that thread, let's put the cards on the table here, shall we?
How long will you self ban for if Trump suspends the elections?

redacted because OP knows Trump will suspend the election.

That's not the topic of this thread.

If you think the DOJ is the final authority on whether a president’s actions are legal
I never said they were the final authority. However they would be the first ones it goes to. They would also be the ones that advise the President on legal matters.
So again, deferring to them to answer the question of whether the president can or cannot delay an election, is the right step when ones doesn’t know the legal answer. Which is what Pompeno did.

Now you are acting like a child. you doing a ban bet saying Trump will suspend elections is asinine.
You probably made the same bets when you swore that the initial covid virus lock down was to arrest all the pedos and haul them to GTMO with body doubles.

I will delete it. Have at your thread.

But isn't it ultimately the SoS' job to oversee the election process? I believe it is. At least, that's how it is on the state level.
In any case, it could easily be read, as you say, but slightly differently.
Hypothetical:
"Well, it sounds like he's thinking about doing it, so I guess it will be for Barr to determine whether it was legal or not."
Of course, he didn't say it exactly like that, but as you say, if he orders it, Barr gets first crack at it.
He needs to do it.

If not, Trump has a pen and a phone.

This is the same guy who said the trump campaign was actively involved in collusion with not only Russia, but also Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the UAE.
Count me in the skeptical camp regarding this being an honest interpretation of Pompeo’s testimony.

I believe Barr would advise the President on whether they have sound legal basis upon which to make such an Executive Order, if yes then POTUS puts that gorgeous signature to it, and at that point it's up for grabs for whichever party seems to have the most significant standing to file a challenge in federal court. That party would likely request at the same time an injunction from execution of the EO, which would be an immediate bigtime matter.
If a judge granted an injunction then the election would continue on, unless (and I think this is possible) the President appeals the injunction. If the higher courts uphold the injunction, election continues on again, and the matter is hopefully fasttracked before the courts for full hearing in a very, very quick way. Or the opposite would be true if court denies injunction, the plaintiff (someone in Congress I assume) would appeal upward to seek a different ruling on injunction, and so on and so forth.
**So timing would be quite important in this matter.

Although, to be fair, it's going to be somewhat irrelevant if Trump loses as there will never be another Republican president.

How long is he going to delay it?
His term is over on January 20, 2021 no matter what happens.

I can't keep up, do we expect our government to follow the Constitution or not?
Posted on 7/30/20 at 9:33 pm to BoarEd
So, OP thinks Barr now outranks Trump?
Posted on 7/30/20 at 9:44 pm to Buckeye Jeaux
This situation requires the use of a small bit of inference. I'm confident what OP means is that Trump would be looking to Barr for legal counsel as to the question(s) of constitutionality/legality of the proposed action(s). That's one of the primary duties the AG owes the head of the Executive. So yes, technically the ball's in Barr's court on that.
