The Tuesday after the first Monday in November was set by an act of Congress in the 1840s. It’s not in the Constitution.

Ok, a question on your post #784:
“The date of federal elections was set by Congress back in the 1840s. As long as a new date doesn’t conflict with those dates specified by the Constitution, all is OK.”
What dates were specified ?
I searched and found this site, which talks about whether the election could be postponed; cites the dates noted in the Constitution regarding when the electors meet and when the President’s terms of office end:
