You can do as you please
but you can only reconcile the account which has the statement 
which here appears to be the checking account
there is no time limit on reconciling transactions
so I may have something entered in my accounts - a cheque - which to me 
is 'spent' money, but it is the account because the recipient has not cashed 
the cheque. Whenever it gets cashed I can proceed with marking that 
transaction as reconciled. No, I don't change the date.
