It’s not like the rule of law means anything to him but, there is no mechanism that I know of that allows him to cancel elections.
Even if he could, everyone in the houses term would just expire next January. Senators leaving could just be appointed by governors I assume, but again I know of no mechanism to install house members without some sort of election.
Before people jump all over me, I want to repeat, it’s not like he respects the law, but if he did there is no mechanism for him to cancel elections that I know of.
