Could the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election Be Postponed?

What's True
The date of a U.S. presidential election could theoretically be postponed with the approval of Congress and the president.
What's False
However, such a postponement would be extremely difficult to achieve in time for the 2020 presidential election and would not provide much temporal leeway for voters.
