But how could the election date be changed, if the Constitution says when it is to be held, and neither the President, Conress, nor Supreme Court can change it?

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.

It would require an amendment to the constitution, or throwing the constitution in the rubbish bin, one.
